Although finals week in university is right around the corner, a jet to Rome for a week was all the escape one needed. Being a college student, travelling was made as cheap as POSSIBLE.

With the intent of visiting a friend studying abroad, I travelled to the Eternal City for one week with six of my friends. We spent a leisurely week sightseeing, bar hopping, lazing the streets, and doing as the Romans.
