- Hiya everybody!
It's Mandy, finally back with another travel video!
This time, I bring to you a vlog of my first solo trip in Roma! Rome and Italy in general is very much a romanticized place, so I was super excited to experience it first hand. I definitely should have planned this trip out better, but I'm happy to share with you the lessons I learned, friends I made, and the reality of Rome! It's a city that is filled with stunning ancient sites, but also a city that is facing financial challenges, a city with an economy that is heavily dependent on tourism. Therefore, you must watch out for scams! I hope you also took something away from this journey, thanks for coming along with me!
I apologize for the wait but I've been busy and editing videos, especially quality ones take a looong time lol. Anyways, I'm trying to improve every time I post, so I really hope you enjoy this video! If you do, pleaseee like, comment and subscribe! I really appreciate you for watching~
See you again soon, next time we meet in Naples, Italy!
Much love,
Mandy

I just got back from 9 days in Rome, also solo travel. For me the main bad was the smoking. Sometimes my clothes would be infused in smoke from all the smokers I’ve been around through the day. Luckily my air bnb had a washer :)
Nice videos, keep it up!
I hate that, people should be more considerate and stop smoking - better yet just quit the habit altogether for their own health. Thanks for the compliment and support - more vids coming soon!!
Great video also enjoyed the different perspective of the not so good in Rome 😅
Aw thank you! I tried to not sugar coat things and give an authentic perspective , glad you appreciate it!! ☺️
I went to Rome last December and I had a blast. I stayed in a very nice AirBnb and there is a lot of walking, but every where was so beautiful that I didn’t mind. I also felt safe the entire time no matter where I went in the city. My mom and I would walk at 6am or 10pm and never felt unsafe and there were many other women doing the same. Use some common sense, of course, like don’t walk down dark alleys or get visibly drunk. The only complaint I had the entire trip was the street scammers. They are everywhere and they take you out the immersion sometimes, but they are easy to ignore. Don’t make eye contact or entertain them at all and you’ll be fine. I think the only thing I would do differently on my next trip would be to learn more Italian. Most everyone spoke at least a little bit of English, at least most of the people I met minus some here and there in the more less traveled parts of the city, but learning the language more would have helped me connect better.
What else can I say…
Visit all of the historic places. The history is so rich and beautiful to learn about. I stayed in the Ponte area of the city and I was close to everything. And I know that many RUclipsrs, TikTokers, and travelers alike will tell you to bring coins for the bathroom, but I didn’t run into this problem. Obviously bring them just in case, but the bathrooms in the airport are free, your hotel bathroom is free, and some museum bathrooms are free. Most days we would go before leaving the hotel and if we needed to go again we were usually about a 10-15 min walk from our hotel so we would make pit stops if need be. If we were out far away then we may have got lucky but the bathrooms at this rest stop/shop we went to on our tour to Tuscany was free and the bathroom at the Herculaneum was free.
The food…try all of the food that you can. It’s so good. Pastas, Supplis, Pizza, Gelato, etc…so good.
If you are in Rome, take a day trip to Naples via the Termini. The pizza there is to die for and Pompeii is worth every penny, but take a tour for some history on it.
Termini also isn’t that hard to navigate. The train rides aren’t too long and you see beautiful scenery along the way. The trains are very well connected so you don’t just have to stay in Rome or go to Naples. You can go to Venice, Salerno, Florence, and most of Italy via the trains.
But the most important thing to do is to relax, have fun, and take pictures. They last a life time and you’ll always have that moment to look back on.
Thank you very helpful. I'm going to rome in 10 days🙏
I absolutely love Rome
Hehe loving your support 💝💐
I liked your video.I'm going to Rome in Sept.I can't believe you didn't go to The Vatican.How can you miss The Vatican?Oh well.
Hi, would you recommend the hotel in the end or not? :)
I think it depends on how you feel haha, it has its positives and negatives. Though if you’re looking for a newer style hotel then I wouldn’t recommend, but if you don’t mind or prefer to be close to the train station then it’s pretty good ✨
What was the name of your hotel? Great video!
Thank you so much!! It’s called Hotel Villa delle Rose!
I want to go Romę alone to as a woman but I am worrying about some bad people and homelesses,may you give me a opinion,i really need it🥲
Se usi il minimo di prudenza necessario in ogni grande città, non avrai alcun problema.
Non so da dove vieni.
In Italia c'è molta meno criminalità che negli USA, mediamente uguale o meno rispetto al resto d'Europa, ma più criminalità che in Giappone e in Corea del Sud.
Più che "persone cattive" a Roma troverai parecchi immigrati che cercano di venderti per forza qualcosa.
Io li capisco (sono in difficoltà giacché non trovano lavoro) ma i turisti giustamente non apprezzano.
Imparare qualche parola di italiano, aiuta.
Se pensi comunque all'italia come a un luogo pericoloso, allora non puoi andare quasi a nessuna parte!
