This city has literally anything you could ever want: beaches, mountains, cities, the countryside, an amazing nightlife, dangerously good s...

Kate Meyers Location: Rome, Italy Major: Finance and Marketing Hometown: Baltimore, MD Favorites:  Skiing, hiking, tennis, any outdoor activities really, and eating What you've been doing abroad:  So far, I have absolutely LOVED Rome. Italian culture is very different from American culture, but it is extremely refreshing to experience. Some of my favorite things to do in Rome are having lunch on the Spanish Steps, visiting the Trevi fountain at night, and seeing the view from the wedding cake monument at sunset. I have also had the amazing opportunity to travel around Europe and visit countries such as Switzerland, Hungary, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Czech Republic and many cities in Italy. With each new place I gained first hand knowledge about each place’s culture. One of my favorite things to do in each new place is to ask the locals which restaurants and food dishes are their favorites. So far, none have disappointed! Probably my two ...
