Rome and Berlin

I took two amazing trips in November to two totally different places! The first trip was to Rome for my friend, Dani's, 21st birthday.

It was my 3 time in Rome, but I think this was my favorite time. Dani's parents were generous enough to put us all up in the St. Regis Rome, which was so luxurious!


I think the bathroom there was the size of my room in Paris. We toured all over, the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, Colosseum, and some of the Piazzas.




And of course we ate... and ate and ate. You would think we were all starving here in Paris from the way we devoured pizza, pasta, gelato, and caprese!



The weather was lovely the entire time, which was a nice change from the cold and gray we had been experiencing in Paris. Overall, a lovely trip with great company!


The next trip we took was to Berlin. This city has been on my must see list for a while now and I couldn't be happier with my experience there! It really is the perfect city for 20-something-year-olds. First of all everything is so inexpensive and there is also just a great young energy about the city. Berlin was exactly how I imagine New York in the 80s to be, grungy and hip.

We visited the Jewish Museum, what's left of the Berlin Wall, the Reichstage, the Brandenburg Gates, and did some great vintage shopping. The city is so full of history there was definitely a mix of emotions throughout the trip.



Over all both of these trips were so fun, maybe because they were so different from each other!
