Travelling is something that I, like many other people, see as a goal in life. I believe the purpose of life is to explore the world you've been birthed into (as cheesy as it sounds) and to also give back to the world and just contribute something whether it's small or big but I don't want to get all philosophical in this particular post.
I could go on and on about the fact that I have so many interests that I want to explore and I probably will go on and on about it another time.
But travelling is pretty much at the top of that list and anyone who follows me on Instagram (link is below and up there on the tab thingys) will know that I post a lot of pictures of Rome because it's the most recent place I've been to.
So I decided to write about it!

I highly recommend anyone who loves history to go to Rome, because I think it's safe to say that there are plenty of historical sights to see and old buildings are a given.
I mean, I saw the bloody Colosseum!
Historical artefacts aside, if you're a lover of Italian food (which I know I am) then there's no place like Rome because where else would you try Italian food other than the capital of Italy! (I quickly had to Google that one just to make sure I didn't sound like an idiot even though I was pretty sure)
I personally recommend you try out any of the many many gelato places where you can go wild with ice cream to your hearts content.
And while you're there, why not check out the world's smallest country which is literally takes minutes to get to on the metro.
Vatican City is a beautiful place with even more breathtaking buildings And you never know, you may run into the Pope. Which I almost did.
If you're lazy like me then you can hop on a tour bus to see all the main landmarks and attractions. It was so easy and simple to just buy a day ticket, Hop on the bus and hop off whenever there was a site that interested you.
But what striked me the most was how beautiful and picture perfect the city looked, it's every amateur photographer's dream, whether it's the view from the park or at the highest point in Rome where you can see the entire city, words can't describe how exquisite the views were.
The atmosphere in the streets and the squares was so vibrant during the day yet so chilled out in the evening and it felt so relaxing to be in both.

I'd love to go back one day, but let's just carry on ticking off everywhere else first ;)
CYA :D
