For my first 8 months of living in Rome I was ballin’ on an intern salary. I was grateful for that, don’t get me wrong, as my organization is the only one in the UN that pays interns anything at all! But it did mean that if I wanted to explore, I was going to need to spend as little as possible. Since being here I have been able to explore some corners of Italy, Spain, France, and Croatia, and I am looking forward to when it is safe to mark more countries and cities off of my bucket list!
