When in Rome do as the Romans do. This means go to dinner at 10:00pm and go to sleep around 2:00am. This part of my trip is also a bit different as I am volunteering at a hostel in exchange for breakfast, lunch, dinner, room and laundry for 6 weeks.

I have taken the last few days to get acclimated to “working’ and today I finally went out and explored for a bit. The sites did not disappoint.

The best part was some gelato from the #3 ranked place on Trip Advisor. I will absolutely be exploring a ton on my days off and really getting to know Rome and digging into all the history. Who knows? Maybe I will even learn some Italian!
