ROME SWEET ROME

When I think about Rome, I think about the culture and the heaps amount of activities and sights to see.  Two weeks ago, I explored Rome with friends and apart from the ample amount of walking, we laughed and shared stories and there's no better way to do it than in the eternal city itself.  I hope these pictures turned out well. We tried to take many photos as much as possible while at the same time absorbing the roman environment.  I am excited to share with you finally! (I got several DMs on snapchat about when I will be uploading) Click Read More below for more photos.

I had to pinch my arm several times to make sure I wasn't dreaming.  Traveling is intoxicating and I've said it before, it's the best form of education.  Seeing the ancient monuments was such a beautiful experience, I will never forget the feeling when I first saw the colosseum in front of my eyes!  This reminds me how small of a fragment I am in this world and this world has a lot of places to be seen.  See you again someday, Rome. Viva l'Italia!!!

I thought the Vatican would be underwhelming, but I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful it was. I felt smaller amidst all of the large structures. There is a really neat gelato stand right by the Vatican where I had the BEST gelato out of all of the places in Rome! Definitely recommend.

The ruins was probably my favorite spot though, I love being reminded of how much history Rome had.

I definitely suggest checking out Florence next time - one of my all-time favorite cities. Very charming.

    Philosophy

    When I travel, I like to share the world through my eyes while capturing photos that will forever remain with me. I'm Leo by the way, U.S based wanderlust.
