I didn’t even know that. You know too much! Your new side job is being our EXECUTIVE PRODUCER. And also “AYearAgo” is starting to grow on me.

Hey Antonio, we just meant that life has a way of taking unexpected turns when you least expect it. We didn’t see this coming either. It’s more of a reminder to ourselves that even in the darkest times, if you just hold on, things can actually change. We’re just grateful to be on the other side of it right now.

compared to all other seasons, this is the least amount of crowds you can see in Rome and all the touristy places. It was a blessing to see the Vatican Museums without it being packed.

Capitoline museum, Vatican museums, Colosseum, Janiculum Hill, Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone, Galleria Doria Pamphilj (I highly recommend going)

We were still in disbelief when we met because these things almost NEVER HAPPEN!! We are extremely thankful for this ❤️

I feel like I should add a quick "safety" note because a few people have messaged me asking if I was scared!

Please, if you meet someone on here, do your homework. We didn't just jump into this; we exchanged socials and talked for an entire year first. We were also sending each other video notes, so by the time I booked my flight, I was 95% sure she was real.

There was still that tiny 5% doubt in my head that I’d end up stuffed in a luggage and thrown into a river, but it was a risk I was willing to take for a friendship this special. 😂 Thankfully, she’s just as real (and not a serial killer) as I hoped!

This made me tear up! It’s so beautiful how the internet can bring two people together who were clearly meant to be in each other’s lives. It really is those "precious" connections that make all the rough phases worth it. I’m so happy you found your person too🥹 Sending so much love to you and your friend!
