roma

bought a 48h public transit ticket at the central station, never even validated it. arrived at the hostel, real nice place after the last ones i've been to (except the backpackers paradise in naples ofc).

explored rome for the next days and got prepared for my trip to the us: needed to fill out forms, make my gear fit the faa's standards and so on. also went to the vatican, but i don't know wheter i should actually count it as a country visited because i didn't spend a night there.

the city was the cleanest out of all of what i've seen so far in italy and overall really nice. as i'm not the greatest fan of old rock piles, even rome couldn't manage to peak my interest after more than two days. wasn't too social here either, mostly kept to myself and relaxed a bit. also somehow managed to fumble two more tinder dates bc of time pressure. however, i did meet brandon from alaska. i really want to go there some day soon.

actually, that brings me to the topic of all the 3 things i have thought about doing / the countries i want to visit the most (excluding my current mission). i have a lot of time to think, so this stuff is on my mind a lot, why don't i just make a list right here.

- alaska to mexico down the west coast
- peru, chile, argentina north to south
- antarctica

just noticed this list is very combinable, stuff for after uni??? ;)Okumaya devam et
