Italy was one of my first big trips as an adult when I was in my 20s... well as an adult in the making now that I see it from this perspective. I fell in love with Rome immediately, it was truly love at first sight. So much history you can feel its vibration when walking the streets.
Staying grounded during the pandemic and not being able to travel has been the hardest thing for me to handle. I miss pretending I am a local and capturing every thing I love, discovering a new favorite street food spot or visiting the not so touristy museum.
