Living in Rome. The Pros and Cons of Daily Life.

What's it like living in Rome on a daily basis? In this video we get into the nitty gritty of daily life in the Eternal city and also the perks of living in Rome. Tourism in Rome is huge. Many people come to Rome, however few ever get to experience what life is like on a day to day basis. I have been in Rome for well over 5 years and the reality is, Rome has it's joys and terrors. In regards to the negative points, what's important to remember is that these issues are not just local to Rome. Why mention anything negative about this world renowned city? Well, it's because there are real issues that need to be discussed. The more we shed light on something, the more people know about a problem, I think this brings us one step closer to a solution.

If I had to pick one aspect of Rome that I like the most, hands down it has to be its history. One of my passions in life is history and as an American living in Rome, Italy even, I am still fascinated that I am a short walk away from something that precedes Jesus. When I see Roman monuments still standing I am amazed at the intelligence required to produce something with such longevity. The 2nd biggest thing I enjoy about the city is the size of it. For someone who loves to explore this city provides me with a seemingly endless task of wandering around and finding new things.

POST VIDEO THOUGHTS: It may be possible to pay by card at the ticket machine at the metro. But I still don't see that option on the screen when you're asked to pay. I couldn't find the card reader until taking a closer look at the ticket machine picture. But still, it's not easy nor clear if you can in fact pay by card!
