ROME VLOG | How I moved to the apartment of my dreams | PART ONE

I love circular plots in life, when events somehow lead back to the event or place that begins the tale. It shows to me that everything is connected and to get to ANOTHER LEVEL Sometimes you need to get back to the previous one and APPRECIATE what you have. And only after that the next door will be open. My tale has started in Rome 7 years ago from a small apartment close to Vatican. This place saw my very first Italian life steps, my tears and joy, my failures and fist success. A year ago we had to come back to live in this small apartment together with Antonio from the one that I called my 2nd home in Rome in via del Leone (the Lion street) in the very heart of Rome. and trust me I never missed a flat like I missed that one from the city center. So we moved back to this small apartment after some unpleasant circumstances (I PROMISE I WILL TELL YOU THIS STORY WHEN IM morally READY: it’s like a good Netflix tv show - loans, bank workers, lawyers ecc) . So I was a bit down when I had to come back… I didn’t accept this place as home. It was complicated to adapt again, because for me it was like coming back to the start point in life. After 1 year, I loved this place again and it became home. And exactly then…the time has come to move on. We got back to the center of Rome, close to our restaurant and airbnbs; we live in an apartment with a FIREPLACE (that I’ve always dreamed about!!) close to the Pantheon and honestly I Can’t believe it’s happening! There’s still so many things to do and to clean and to put in order… But I LOVE IT 😍 #apartment #rome #roma #italy #pantheon #rome #roma #italy #italia #travel #ig #art #photography #love #igersroma #picoftheday #romeitaly #architecture #travelphotography #lazio #europe #visitrome #igersitalia #paris #history #photo #like #vatican #travelgram #london #follow #italianvlog #apartment #apartamento #moving #relocation #relocatetoitaly #newapartment #roomtour #apartmenttour
