What Makes Rome So Special?!?!

I have a complicated relationship with Rome. I've been lucky enough have gone there several times now and have experienced many sides of Rome from the touristy to the lesser known locations. In this vlog I want to dive into what makes Rome such an interesting destination and I will be showing my fiancee Alisha who has never been before the two sides of Rome. We go to some familiar places like the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon but we also found some really great hidden gems in the city and also had some of the best food of our lives.
