No more than 1500 inhabitants, limited access to internet and surrounded by mountains, Dasa` is my final stop after 5 months and 1 week of travelling and living abroad. It is spent meeting up with family and learning more about my origins. Endless discussions at the dinner table after a hearty meal of italian home cooking, exploring the narrow paths through the town and chasing the sunset on a nearby mountain, it has always been the small things and the lesser known places that have impressed the most. 

From Rome i fly to Calabria where i meet family living in Italy for the first time. 

Day 4:
Trevi Fountain, St. Peter's Basilica & Villa Borghese Gardens

Day 2:
​Roman forum & Colosseum

The capital of Italy evokes the power of the former Roman Empire with its medieval architecture, ancient ruins and supreme status as one of Europe's elite. Rome is a big city and offers an even bigger choice of public transport, but i choose to walk. Roaming deeper into the city, moving further away from reality and stepping into ancient times.
