When I was 8 yrs old, my parents brought me on a life-changing trip to Rome, Italy. My Dad told me that if I threw a coin in the Trevi Fountain, I would come back to Rome one day. I threw in lots of coins. 13 years later, I spontaneously embarked on a solo trip to Europe with nothing other than a backpack and a desire for adventure. Thus began a series of random events. I babysat a stranger's cats in Milan, swam during the sunrise in Lake Como, accidentally crashed a wedding in Tuscany, munched on fresh focaccia in Cinque Terre, threw more coins in Rome's Trevi Fountain, and finally, I arrived in Napoli- where I met the love of my life.
