    I’m truly happy to have welcomed Francesco from Termini TV. We met a few weeks ago and instantly clicked. He has been living in Rome for over twelve years now, with the aim of settling down and building something meaningful. This is a major theme for many of us who come to Rome, drawn by countless reasons that the city inspires us to explore.

    In this episode, you’ll discover the journey of this fascinating new character of Rome and, above all, gain some unique insights into the city. Thanks to Francesco’s journalistic perspective and the beautiful project he’s been launching, we’ll delve deeply into what makes this place so captivating.

    Nov 14 2024
    This is a very special episode with a new character from Rome, for many reasons that you'll soon discover. Cristina, originally from Bari, first encountered Rome during the Jubilee (which is happening again this year!). She’s a singer, actress, performer, and public speaking expert — a true multi-talent who continues to return to Rome, even though she’s lived on nearly every continent. There may be a second part to this episode, but for now, here’s a look at Cristina’s magical journey.

    I’m delighted to welcome my new guest: Tania. We met at Spin Time, an important occupied space in the Esquilino neighborhood that also hosts a co-working called Rework. Tania is half Italian, half French; she was born in Paris, raised in Washington D.C., and has called Rome 'home' for the past eight years. From the moment she arrived, she was captivated by the city’s vibrant colors and rich flavors, yet she finds Rome’s true charm in its contrasts—a blend of human warmth and chaotic energy. In this episode, Tania shares her journey with Rome, one sound and sensation at a time.

But, she ended up staying quite a long time. Why? Falling in love, finding your community, dealing with your roots, adapting your work with this new perspective,… In this episode, you’ll hear Marina’s inspirational journey : « Come with no expectations and expect you to everything ».

    Joy
    Aug 1 2024
    My last guest before the summer break could bring you so much happiness. Her name is Joy, she's Lebanese and has been living in Rome for a couple of years now. I met her at a gathering in Villa Celimontana, a park near the Colosseum where jazz events are held during the summer. From the day she arrived in Rome with her mother for the first time, to the story she's been building here, and her way of living and appreciating life, you'll get to know Joy's world. You might also learn a bit about mine, as my guest has been quite good at asking me, 'Why are U in Rome?'.

    Jul 18 2024

    Full of energy and ideas, Coline is the new guest on the podcast. We met at the very beginning of my time in Rome, in Trastevere, in 2021. Our friendship blossomed in many different places, such as Porta Portese, Oasis della Birra, Piazza Trilussa, and San Lorenzo, among many others!

    Coline is a French woman from Strasbourg who decided, almost overnight, that she would work in Italy. This conversation covers the entire story of her move to this city: how to create opportunities and follow your desires, what it changes in you to think outside the box, how to find your own community, and so much more!

    Desh is the new guest on this episode. We met on Via Giulia through a jazz concert and got to know each other while playing chess at Largo Febo. He’s from Sri Lanka and is also French, and has been living in Rome for three years now.

    This conversation led us to his unique job "following the stars", how to dive into something you’re passionate about, the power of languages, the experience of living abroad, and so much more!
