Arrivederci Roma, Bonjour Paris

This is a bittersweet good-bye.

Today I am leaving Rome and beginning a new adventure. I am flying to Paris, a city I have dreamed of going to for practically my entire life. I will spend 5 days there, then my uncle Paul will meet me and we will start driving. Right now the plan is to make our way north to Denmark/Norway/Sweden. All we know for sure is that we have to be in Frankfurt by the 18th to catch our flight back to the U.S. Other than that we don't really have a plan. We are just going to take it a day at a time and have an amazing adventure!

I have spent three and a half months in one of the most amazing cities in the world, but more than the beautiful buildings and awesome food, I'm going to miss the people. I made friends that I will have for life and will miss dearly. I took a leap of faith, stepped out of my shell, and embraced life in Rome. I laughed, I cried, I sweat a lot (thanks to the oppressive Roman summers), and I made memories that I will cherish forever. I look forward to seeing what will come next!

A dopo.
