Hi there, I'm Irene, your local host in Rome! I'm so excited to share with you all the amazing things this city offers. To me, Rome is a city that can surprise you every day. No matter how long you've lived here or how many times you've visited, there's always something new to discover. One of my favorite things to do is walk around Rome's churches. Each one is unique and has its own story to tell. I also love to explore new places and hang out with my friends in the park. It's always great to spend time with the locals and get a real feel for the city's culture. Whether it's a historical monument, a hidden café, or a quirky boutique, I know where to find the most surprising things while exploring the city. And the best part is that I get to share all of this with you! It's my passion to show people the true beauty of Rome and to leave them with a newfound appreciation for the city's rich history and vibrant culture. So come and join me on a journey of discovery through Rome!
