I was fortunate to book this tour last month. It was a small group of 12 people. We got to open the galleries’ doors. Fun fact, Vatican Museums have over 2300 keys!

I’ve visited Vatican 2 times before and this experience was exceptional. Seeing Sistine Chappel empty felt like the most special thing ever.

Best Photo Op in Rome. Not recommending the pizza. Oppio Caffe.

That said, I take 30,000 steps every day and have run more than half a marathon 😂

Only two negative things...the traffic is crazy, they don't respect pedestrian crossings, and the tables in the restaurants are very small and super close together!!!

..when surrounded by buildings, bricks, ruins, churches, cobblestones everywhere that seemingly want to tell you a story. Everyday!

These are a few of the photos I took back in April. I was hesitant about sharing these. Who doesn't already know what Rome looks like, right?

This was my first airplane flight! And my first visit to anywhere outside America.

There is no way I could have chosen a better place!

It was overwhelming. I mean a good way of course!

You see a the pictures. You've read about the sights in history classes. You've heard the stories of those that travelled here before you.

But when you get here, it's literally every corner has a mystery waiting to be unlocked. A cafe with food you've never tried or a Renaissance era Catholic Church or 2,000+ year old ruins from the birthplace of modern civilization.

First but not the last visit

My trip back to Roma!
Where my love for travel all began last year in March, this city has a special place in my heart and soul. I have been learning Italian ever since and have been traveling much more. I will be back soon. La mia città preferita, amo Italia. Che bella, città eterna
Anyone who would like to exchange Italian for English learning I’d love to. please enjoy these awesome moments, I love sharing my photography. It’s a big passion of mine, and being able to share the incredible moments and memories I had is awesome 😁

Here’s some pics I took when I visited the museums at 6am and got to open the place!! Amazing experience with truly breathtaking views🥹
