Best student neighborhoods in Rome: where to live as an (international) student
My dear readers, maybe you already saw it on my Instagram, but since last week, I am officially no longer a student. I graduated from Sapienza with a 110/110, and I am now the proud owner of a Global Humanities degree. While I don't fall into the student category anymore, I lived the student life (minus the drinking) for three years here in Rome, and I can tell you all about the best student neighborhoods in Rome. Depending on which university you are going to attend, there are some amazing neighborhoods where students are concentrated, and if you find an apartment in one of these areas, I am sure you are going to have a great time.
Best specialty coffee in Rome: where to go for your daily shot of caffeine
I have spent the first 24 years of my life without drinking coffee, but since I started working in hospitality again, I discovered the magic that is coffee. In Italy, coffee is part of the culture, and I once rejected a date because the guy wanted to take me to Starbucks, which I feel was a fair decision. Rome has so many delicious coffee places, and even your local bar will serve you a great shot of espresso to get your day started. In this blog post, I will tell you all about my favourite specialty coffee places in Rome. These are the places that are more on the trendy side, with many Instagrammable pastries and drinks like matcha as well. If you are like me and love a cute coffee and pastry date with yourself or others, these specialty coffee shops in Rome are the way to go.
Best English-Speaking Doctors in Rome (Clinics for Tourists & Expats)
I have lived in Rome for quite a while now, and sadly, I have had to use the healthcare system here a couple of times. Ranging from minor health concerns to more serious issues, I have visited both the emergency room and a private clinic. When it comes to your health, it is very important that there is as little of a language barrier as possible. That is why, in this blog post, I will tell you all about English-speaking healthcare clinics in Rome. Of course, I hope you won't need any of them, but if you do, you'll know exactly where to go if you ever need a doctor while you're in Rome.
What to Do in Villa Borghese: 10 Activities in Rome's Most Beautiful Park
In the past, whenever I visited Rome as a tourist rather than as someone who lives here, I always skipped Villa Borghese, and looking back, I think this was a huge mistake. Villa Borghese, as I have mentioned before on my blog, is one of the most beautiful parks in Rome, and you can easily spend 1–3 hours here, or even more.
It is very centrally located and easily accessible from the centre of Rome. Besides that, entering the park is completely free. In this blog post, I will tell you all about what to do in Villa Borghese, as this park has many activities to offer.
Whether you're visiting with friends, family, or small children, Villa Borghese has something for everyone and offers the perfect green escape from the crowds of Rome.
Visit the Bioparco di Roma, Rome’s zoo in Villa Borghese
Hello my loves, as you might have noticed, it is getting hot in Rome, and for me that means I want to be outside all the time, since my room heats up like a sauna. Rome has some wonderful parks where you can go for a picnic or a walk, but last week I went on a new adventure and visited the zoo in Rome. The zoo, or Bioparco di Roma, is located in Villa Borghese, and in the future I will dedicate an entire article to Villa Borghese and everything you can do there. For this article, however, I will tell you all about the Bioparco di Roma, what it is, what to see, how to get there, and whether it is worth visiting.
