How I recovered (twice) stolen money from my Booking.com wallet

booking stolen wallet

The day I discovered my Booking.com wallet had been hacked

 

First things first... why on hell did I have money on the Booking.com wallet? Well, because they messed up a reservation that I had made and gave me back the money that they owed me on the wallet. We are talking here about MY money, that I had already paid with my credit card, so there is no good reason for them to refund the amount on the wallet, just to begin with.

Anyway, at this point I was just upset, not worried, until I opened my Booking.com account to plan a vegan-friendly trip, only to find that the 50 Euro credit in my wallet had vanished. Instead, there was a reservation for a hotel in a city I’d never visited— booked by someone else, paid for with my money. Panic set in. How had a stranger accessed my account? Why was there no fraud alert? No reservation email either? Apparently they just send the confirmation to the email that you write in final details form, not to the email linked to the account.

The great wall of Nanjing: best place to visit in town

Nanjing great wall

 

If you are visiting Nanjing you know that some of the most famous tourist landmarks are the city wall, the museums and the temples…. But there is one spot that I love and that is totally underrated: the great wall just outside Nanjing is the best place to visit if you want to experience both nature and architecture (I am not saying "history" as the wall is a recent construction).

My life in China

It's been one year since I moved to China.

I had the opportunity to leave my Country (Italy) to teach abroad and I choose to come to Nanjing.

The Covid years were really hard for me and my husband, Italy was one of the places with more restrictions and mandates, day to day life was hell.... so we needed a fresh start.

China was not considered the best place at the time, epidemic measures were still enforced and we had no idea what the future would have been, but considered how bad we were feeling in our own Country we just made a bet, and won!

After some months life in China got back to normality, we could travel around both inside and outside mainland, and now we are enjoying a pretty good life.

I will do my best to talk about my new life here!
