My session with Anthony Page, a Network Spinal Analysis Chiropractor in Rome (Italy)
Today I will tell you about my session with a chiropractor. I had a few sessions in Morocco (in Essaouira) which I have told you about here. A few months ago, I watched an episode of Netflix’s The Goop Lab (episode 5) on energy care with a Network Spinal Analysis chiropractor and I thought “OMG I want I want”. Be very careful what you ask for because the universe often arranges to give it to you at the most unexpected time. Completely by chance, an Italian friend of mine offered me a session at her chiropractor’s <3 <3 telling me that it was going to be good for me.Having found…

Dental Care in Rome, Italy (crowns, caries, scaling, paradontitis): How much does it cost?
Sorry to take so long to upload the travel diaries, but since September, I’ve been hanging out at the dentist’s and these appointments put me in low energy, it’s crazy. Constantly thinking about my teeth or my tooth problems, it exhausts me! I wonder if 5 continents world tour has turned into a dentists’ world tour. It’s terrible! I visited dental offices in Thailand, Morocco, Canada, Italy and Turkey. Well, what I can tell you is that French dentists are the worst, so if your wallet allows it and you can get treatment elsewhere, I highly recommend you. Why should I get treatment in Italy? That’s the question everyone asks…

The Colosseum, Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum – Rome (Italy) #7
Today, I take my courage in both hands to write this article. This is one of the last articles about Rome as we visited the Colosseum was our second visit, just after the Vatican. Well yes, because I didn’t like it. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary I visited quite a few ruins anyway, especially in Turkey but I think that the Coliseum, classified as one of the New 7 Wonders, has set the waiting bar a little too high. For information, on the New 7 Wonders of the World, we could visit 5 of them: The Chinese Wall, Christ the Redeemer in Rio,…

Sant’Angelo Castle: Rome (Italy) #6
The Castel Sant’Angelo isn’t that far from the Vatican, but it took us an eternity to get there. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary From our Airbnb, we choose to walk to the Castel Sant’Angelo, hoping to discover a little bit of Rome. Finally, we just walk along the river banks, which look strangely similar to Paris. We have lunch at the Ristorante Porta Castello, it’s nice, affordable without being gastronomic, it’s a good choice if you want to avoid the tourist restaurants of the area. We don’t realize it, but we are really close to the Vatican. You can see St. Peter’s Basilica…

Digital Nomad: 2.5 months in Rome (Italy), ideal destination in spite of Covid
As you know, because of the Covid, instead of taking it easy in Asia, we had to return to France and stay there for 7 months before finally leaving on a mop, destination Italy. Why Italy? Because the destination was part of our initial itinerary: France – Germany – Austria – Italy and the more we learn about it, the more we want to be there. Rome has always been on our wishlist but as it’s “too close” to France, we thought we would have all our time and finally we went around the world twice without setting foot there. It took us more than 30 years to go there,…

Short Walk in Rome (Italy) #5: from Prati to Trastevere
We’ve been in Rome for a month and a half and I’m starting to have a little routine. I regularly go to the district of Prati, either to my masseuse or to my dentist, and to get back to our Airbnb in Trastevere, I always take the same route through the monuments of downtown Rome. I like it very much. Part 1: Travel Diary Part 2: Practical Tips Part 1: Travel Diary Already, after the appointment at the dentist’s, I always treat myself to an ice cream to reward myself for all the suffering caused by the appointment. I go either to Venchi or to the Romanaaccording to my mood…

Gallery and Villa Borghese & all-you-can-eat Sushi restaurant – Rome (Italy) #4
The Borghese Gallery is one of the places we were recommended to book in advance because of the crowds. So we buy the tickets a month and a half in advance, to find out how much the Covid has impacted Rome as well. It doesn’t matter, we are among the first to enter the villa (out of 20 tourists in all) and it suits us very well. The Gallery is nestled in a huge heart-shaped park (Villa Borghese). If the park is free, the access to the Gallery costs us 13€/person I don’t know if it’s always like this but the visiting hours are made so that each group has…

How do I send mail from the Vatican Post Office?
With the advent of e-mail, instant messaging, social networks, … It is increasingly rare to receive and send mail to relatives. The last time I received non-administrative mail, I think it was a wedding announcement.

The smallest state in the world has its own postal service The Vatican has three post offices: The first one is in the Vatican Museum The other two on St. Peter’s Square You won’t be able to miss the one on the right as you exit St. Peter’s…

The hat was bought from…

Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel without tourists – Rome (Italy) #2
This article should rather be entitled “How we privatized the Sistine Chapel” because we felt so VIP After giving myself a few days of rest (the famous vacations after the vacations), the glandouille is no longer allowed because time is running out: Rome is huge and there are so many things to visit. The Vatican is obviously the first place to visit among the paying tourist places: we are very excited to go to a “new country” even if it is the smallest one that exists. note: this is one of the few articles where I advise you to read on computer to better admire the pictures Part 1: Travel…
