There is nothing more exhilarating than trying something new. As soon as I got off the plane, I can feel a new atmosphere in Italy. It might be scary to some, including myself, to make that decision to spend a few weeks away from home. I decided to travel alone without any family or friends.

Another night, I\u2019m grabbing a cup of gelato down the road with new friends from the JFRC. The next day, I\u2019m strolling through Villa Borghese.
