Rome

Hey guys,


No more apologies for delayed posts. I am going to instead post small, post large, frequent or infrequent – I just will keep them coming.

This post can be a quick recap of how things have been for me over in London. Many of you have been asking if I am coming back anytime soon—the answer is not yet! I still have 13 months left on my current visa, and if work continues the way is has been, I will most likely look to extend again. Work has been great, and I am still enjoying my current role. I have been able to work on challenging projects, lead global initiatives and travel.

In the past 12 or so months, I made it to over 22 cities in 20 countries last year, including: Copenhagen (Denmark), Helsinki (Finland), Tallinn (Estonia), Riga (Latvia), Ibiza, Barcelona (Spain), Paris (France), Amsterdam (Holland), Milan, Positano, Sorrento, Rome, Naples (Italy), Stockholm (Sweden), Milwaukee, Chicago, Houston, LA (USA), Brussels (Belgium), Porto, Lisbon (Portugal), Sao Paolo, Rio De Janeiro (Brazil), and Dublin (Italy) and many more!

This blog will be covering my most recent trip to Italy as part of a Marquette University European Alumni Network Event in Rome!

Rome –

Rome was a spectacular city. I arrived on a Thursday evening, and began exploring with a fellow alumni who I was travelling with, Michael Peterson. Our first stop, the Coliseum of course—and boy was it amazing! We took the underground to the middle of the city, exited the station and as soon as you stepped on the street, you could see it. It was truly a sight to see, especially when there are modern buildings right around it. During the visit I was also able to see the Trevi fountain, the Spanish steps and attend Mass at St. Peter’s Basilica. The last being one of the events organised by Marquette.

Rome is an amazing city, full of amazing sights, foods and history. It was such a short trip for me, but I hope to return. After all, I did throw a coin into the Trevi fountain with my right hand, while standing backward and over my left shoulder.

Just keeping this short and providing a quick update, so hopefully you can enjoy!

Thanks again to those who helped to organise the recent trip to Rome, including Martha Moore and Kelly Kliebhen!
