My biggest dream in life, besides being a writer, was to visit Italy. Weird aspirations, I know. I have traveled to Europe before, but I didn’t want to visit just to visit, and this dream wasn’t for superficial reasons. That came to fruition this past summer, where after my parents have been to Italy a couple times already, I was lucky to join my two siblings and my parents to travel to Rome, Italy.
We visited several towns in the country, including the villages I was told about growing up. Growing up Italian on both sides of my family, it was an aspiration of mine to visit the place where my family was from. Growing up hearing about these places, I always hoped one day I was able to accomplish that dream.
