This is it! My FINAL post from my two-week adventure in Paris and Italy! On my last day in Rome, we caught the sun setting across the Tiber on Ponte Sant'Angelo. This ancient bridge, also known as Bridge of Angels, dates all the way back to 134 AD and is one of the finest surviving in Rome itself! It was completely packed with tourists but beautiful nonetheless... I don't really have anything specific to say except for the fact that this trip was life changing. No, I am not exaggerating. This trip wasn't really planned. My good friend Bryn told me she was spending nearly a month in Europe and I spontaneously decided to join her (for two reasons). One, I had just moved to LA and feeling out of place and depressed. Two, I have been in a really complicated situation this entire year to the point where I would find any chance to escape. This trip truly opened my eyes and heart to a lot of things. I gained back the confidence I lost and learned that at the end of the day only I matter, that I should be my priority. Life is short and I need to focus on my own happiness. Obviously, life isn't that simple and I still have struggles but I am definitely making progress. Anyways, I will end this post with a quote I came across recently that really resonates with me... "Whatever comes, let it come. What stays, let it stay. What goes, let go."

Rome was my last stop and I couldn't think of a better way to end my European adventure. There's something about Rome that makes you want to experience it all. Just like many other cities on this trip, I have been to Rome a few times so instead of seeing all the touristy spots, I spent my three days there living like a local (or try to)! I met a few true Romans and they were able to show me the rope... We hung out in hip neighborhoods such as Monti and Trastevere, drank wine and laughed so hard in many piazzas, danced the night away at clubs, and definitely fell in love. I even got my 10th (a dainty rose) and 11th (my grandma's birth year in Roman numerals) tattoo in Rome... See! Rome does somehow bring out the adventurous side in me!
