Ristorante Sant'Elena

Ah, Rome! The eternal city, a shimmering gem that forever enchants my heart as my first true home away from home. In the vibrant spring of 2019, I danced through the streets of Rome during my Erasmus adventure, marking a pivotal chapter in my life. It was my inaugural leap beyond the familiar borders of my home state, and in those sun-kissed days, I discovered the essence of travel that ultimately wove my path to Thatch✨ This guide is a treasure trove of the places and experiences that shaped that enchanting time, forever altering the lens through which I see the world. It’s all about forging connections with the land, the people, and the rich culture that makes travel truly authentic. As you journey through this guide, you’ll also pick up useful Italian phrases to sprinkle into your travels! Embrace the charming Duolingo Bird and learn a few expressions before you go. For a deeper dive into the local lingo, I recommend Word Reference—it’s perfect for uncovering those regional gems and situational nuances. Happy travels!
