Rome

Ever wondered what it's like to live abroad?

I spent the first four months of 2014 living in bella Roma and wouldn't trade the experience for anything. The allure of Rome has sparked intrigue in humans since thousands of years before our time. With the Coloseum, Vatican, and Trevi at your fingertips, what's not to love about Rome? Factor in the beautiful language and age-old history with some of the major fashion houses worldwide and you've got yourself quite the city.

But just like with any big city, navigating Rome can be overwhelming (and that's without even factoring in the language barrier). Luckily, you have me! While four months there does not make me an expert in any way, I have pretty great Roman recommendations for you to try!

Want to look less like a tourist? Never wear shorts or sandals (no matter how hot it may be). Always wear one more layer than necessary. Neutral is the only color in style.
