As someone who has lived in Rome for a year now, it was definitely trial and error when figuring out the best ways to explore the city, but I think I now have it figured out. I remember the very first day I was here, I hopped on a random city bus and sat by the window to see all of the sights and to get a feel of the city – I will never forget this moment for many reasons; 1. After we had gone through the entire city I had to figure out how to get back and I ended up getting on the wrong bus and going completely in the opposite direction all alone! 2. The roads in Italy are insane. I mean like hold-on-to-your-boobs-because-you-are-going-to-lose-one-of-them kind of crazy. So, while that was an interesting experience, let me tell you some of the better ways to get around so you don’t end up like me 😉

How to Travel Light
Lifestyle, TravelLadiesss, this one is for you! If you are like me, you have a different pair of shoes in mind for every outfit you want to pack. For weekend getaways it can be so difficult to pack light! Sometimes when I travel with my boyfriend, Francesco, I don’t know how we are getting around and it makes the most sense to only bring a backpack. For example, when we went to Ischia, we were traveling around the island by scooter so there was no way I would have been able to bring a rolling suitcase. But I still wanted to look CUTE! So how do you pack for something like this?
What Living in Rome is Like
TravelLiving in Italy used to be scary and a bit of a culture shock, but once you know the Italian way, it becomes much less intimidating and a lot more fun! I have lived in Italy for a year now (I cannot believe it has been a year) and I have learned a lot about myself, life, and culture. I definitely don’t live exactly like an Italian, though: I work completely in English, I work with people from all over the world, and so far, I have lived in 3 different apartments…going on 4.

TravelHey! It’s been a while! Hope you are doing well during these crazy times — hang in there, friend. A lot has happened since I last posted. I want to start back up and keep up this blog even with the virus among us and I want to still be able to share my adventures and experiences with you! I also promise to post more Italian recipes as well in the near future 🙂
