Guys it is celiac Heaven here CIA it’s Coliseum day I’m quite excited everything surrounding us right now just looks Fictional hi friends how are you welcome back to the channel for the fifth and final of the travel Vlogs I’m so sad that they are over because I had so much fun um this Vlog is a little bit different because we fly out of France into Italy so this whole Vlog all takes

Place in Rome we spent over 3 days there and I loved it I’ve been to Italy before never to Rome it truly is celiac Heaven there’s so many gluten-free foods everywhere we also saw the sides don’t worry it’s not just Foods so I’m excited to show you what all we did but before

We get into it I want to say a quick thank you and shout out to the sponsor of today’s video I’m really excited about the sponsor because they are new to the channel and I’ve loved them for a while now this is Mary ruths and I do

Have a discount code for yall but I want to tell you a couple things about them first I’m very much in my supplement era I would say I have been for probably over a year now my degrees in nutrition and so like I know the benefits of vitamins and minerals and

Supplementation in general but I started really really researching what I like and need and all that sort of thing and I learned about the benefits of liposomal and Mar ruths has so many good liposomal supplements that basically means it’s just more bioavailable so your body absorbs more of it I’m going

To show you two of my favorites today that I take every single day one is their vitamin C vitamin c does so many things and it’s one of the minerals that your body can’t make so um I am very adamant on taking this every single day

This one is delicious it is Citrus and vanilla and the thing that I like about these liposomal liquid supplements is you can just take them directly on a spoon and they taste really good like this cheers this one’s so good it’s like a citrus vanilla another thing you could

Do is like put this in drink drinks are on food and you can make a little mocktail do this with some juice and some sparkling water shake it up and it’s just way more fun to take it that way another one that I love is this one

It’s the turmeric in DHA um I started taking this specifically if you follow me you know that I’m working on my joint health I have pretty unhealthy joints turmeric has a ton of benefits this blend also has things like ginger root oil and the DHA which is like vegan

Omega-3s really good for cognitive health for blood flow so these are two things that I love the taste of orange ginger and citrus vanilla the tastes go really well together if you’re looking for a certain supplement or vitamin or mineral or whatever that might be I would check out their website I also

Love their magnesium gummies so many things for them are so good so my code is M melj so like mro Mary Ruth Organics Mel J that’s going to get you 20% off of your order I’m going to have these linked down below um you can shop them

On Amazon super easy quick delivery and let’s go ahead and get into to the Rome footage thanks again to Mary Ruth for sponsoring let’s fly to Rome Ciao from Rome it’s the first morning here you probably just saw a little Montage of us getting in last night we landed in time to basically just do a little dinner guys it is celiac Heaven here apparently a large portion of the population here Celiac like maybe more

Than 10% so almost all the restaurants have like a separate gluten-free menu it’s incredible we we went and I got fried zucchini flowers we got a couple pastas we got tiasu you and I are going to have a solo Adventure morning which I’m actually super looking forward to

All the family decided to go on a really early tour Jordy said he’d get some footage of it for yall so that you can still see it but basically they’re going to Vatican City in the cistin chapel which I wanted to go see um but they had

To wake up at like 5:00 a.m. to do that and we got in kind of late last night and if you guys know me you know that I’m an autoimmune girly and so sometimes I have to call an audible to skip out on some things and get enough rest so that

I actually feel good enough to continue to hang and explore honestly too if I’m being so for real I do all the sites and all the tourist things because I feel like I should and especially when I’m Vlogging that’s what y’all want to see my favorite way to travel is not really

To do a lot of that but is simply like Wonder just to walk around walk see the kind of sights on foot stumble across what you stumble across so I’m going to have a morning like that I do know that there is a fully gluten-free breakfast

Spot nearby and in route we pass so many things this city is just packed with amazing sights from like Jesus times it is just from before as well obviously we’re going to go to the Coliseum tomorrow so that’ll be really fun so I have a couple things on my list and a

Couple routes to go walk by on foot to go see some historical things and go get some breakfast and see what we stumble upon so I’m looking forward to that about to get ready but I will show you I don’t know what happened I did not book

This room I booked a much smaller room but they gave us a huge two-bedroom apartment I don’t know this is just one of the rooms I can do a little room tour later maybe but um it is also on just such a busy street super Central right

Now for Christmas they have all these Christmas lights down the street which I will show you at nighttime as well but we’re literally above so many different coffee shops gelato restaurants stores so it’s it’s like even if I didn’t want to Adventure far there’s still so much I

Could do on the street so little quick fast room tour here’s bathroom one of the bedrooms back this way we seriously didn’t even see the second bedroom for for a minute cuz I did not book a two-bedroom we were like what is happening another bathroom and this is turned into a giant

Closet room which is nice to kind of keep stuff out of the way back this way we have a full kitchen pretty much you know stove top there’s a fridge down there which is super handy and a view out into I think some sort of restaurant

Bre oh yeah it is breakfast no one was there’s a whole Buffet do you see the buffet okay all dressed all ready to go before 10:00 a.m. pretty good here is where we’re going it’s only an 8 minute 10 minute is walk from me it’s called

Pali and then it is such a quick walk it’s literally down the street from the pantheon and then pza novana and then I’m going to cut over this way and walk to see the Trevy Fountain last night we started watching The lizu W movie so

I was like oh yeah I forgot about that we should totally go see that Too A faka sandwich is on the way but I got the last piece of carrot cake cappuccino and some cookies to take home so um excited to give it a try Okay the sandwich has come out it is quite hot so I’m going to wait a second to eat

It but it’s faka with Pudo and mozzarella oh my I don’t think I can wait actually let’s do a bite test That hits I crossed the street over this way just to see cuz I saw this was an observation deck I want to try to figure out what year this is from but this is just in the middle of the city so here’s what it looked like some of these things were discovered as

Recently as 2013 and some of these structures are from 181 BC 241 BCE as different temples and I guess they just keep finding things which is pretty awesome and here is the pantheon we walked by this last night but I wanted to see it in the day actually night was

Pretty cool and a lot less busy cuz it wasn’t open I don’t think I don’t think the doors are open and it’s in this little Plaza this is the view right here cuz you can’t see everybody’s heads of the fountain Wow next stop Chevy Fountain and we’re walking down so many beautiful different little Alleyways everywhere we go this is what’s so crazy about Rome is like just in the middle of your walk to something else really cool you pass here it’s a temple there’s like a moat around it wow

You telling me that I’m supposed to believe that Liz Maguire was in 8th grade and came here all by herself is that what I’m supposed to believe I’m not buying at Disney okay leaving the Trevy Fountain now I’ve seen all the things super close that I kind of wanted

To see my belly is full um everybody still the Vatican and I don’t know how long they’re going to be there it’s not super close it’s like an hour walk away but I think what I’m going to do is just like leisurely Wonder in that direction

And if I get there when they’re still exploring then I think I have a ticket so I could probably go in and if not then I’ll just continue to do my own thing maybe I’ll make it all the way there maybe I won’t I don’t know but if

We’re going to wander around and walk which is my favorite thing might as well do it in that direction so that’s what we’re doing just going to walk around like for example when you walk some Place With No Agenda you can find shortcuts through beautiful galleras I

Don’t exactly know what this is but it’s all decked out for Christmas based on all the signs everywhere it looks like it’s a mall that’s going to be opening eventually the building looks quite old though so I don’t know if they’re currently renovating it to be a mall but

There’s a big old Christmas tree back there kind of pretty oh yeah we also walked past this last night as well and every single little tier has such detail all the way up it I’ve definitely stumbled upon like a nice shopping area over here there’s even an ASAP so I got

Some free lotion uh ASAP is everywhere I when I went to Korea didn’t want to convert all my money back so I spent it all at ASAP in the airport I love that they’re everywhere but I think I’m going to kill time in this area because the

Family is deciding where they want to get lunch and so I will then make my way there oh do you see that please tell me you see that the headless man with the glasses okay great making sure you see that let’s go this way stumbled across a beautiful silver flower Christmas tree

In this Plaza this is kind of similar to the plaza in Paris that we found that was all ducked out for Christmas and like surrounded by the nicest shops seems to just be a theme in every major city about to cross over the water to get to the other side to meet

Everybody and this honestly kind of reminds me of Paris and Austin and Nashville we love big cities that have water running right through the middle of it so pretty the water is a lot cleaner here than Paris though I’ll say That T it is officially night time everybody kind of parted ways after lunch we just have been back doing work I edited some things from Paris and then we got a text everyone was like you know what we are all wiped from waking up so early which

I did not and they all just wanted kind of a night end to recharge so I with my sneaky little way started researching restaurants in the area of course and I found a really great looking restaurant called Adelaide that um still had reservations tonight I actually think

That they also have been awarded one vegetan star we figured what’s one one in row you know one more nice dinner while we’re out it’s my favorite that’s how I love to experience new cultures is eating out and trying their food so this is Italian kind of modern Italian

Cuisine um and my absolute favorite hobby so we are getting ready to walk there for for dinner I will bring you all along I will get some clips and tomorrow is the big Coliseum day I’m pretty sure I’m pretty sure I’m going as well um I know initially when my

Sister-in-law to be plan a whole trip when she was planning it she initially was going to plan like a special guided tour for all the guys and then we were going to do something else but I don’t know if that’s changed because I think that we’re all doing the same one but I

Didn’t plan this I didn’t book this I’m just pretty sure that’s what we’re doing and tomorrow is our our last full day which is just absolutely crazy well everybody else leaves the following day we then go stay at an airport hotel to be closer to the airport cuz we have a

Early flight on New Year’s Eve I know that these videos are coming out like far into January but we’re still in December at the time of recording this I’m already with my non styled hair just threw in a ponytail calling it good to go let’s go walk to Dinner Ah it’s Coliseum day I’m quite excited also I’ve been making americanos every morning because all the spots we’ve been staying at only have tiny little Espresso shop pods so I’ve also been using the kettle to make an Americana um but last night dinner was so fun so good I cannot believe we just

Kind of like left into that spot same day that they had reservations it was tucked away in the cutest little hotel down in alley and um they were able to make every gluten-free they had their own pasta like several types of pastas and would just bring out the dishes with

Special noodles so that was really fun um obviously today we are doing girls versus guys tour so I’m so glad I am for sure going that we have tickets for us girls I knew us girls were doing something different but we’re just doing different tours of the Coliseum so the

Guys are doing I think like a gladiator tour and then we are doing a private group um it’s like a skip the line so I guess you enter with a tour guide kind of like we did at the LOF and so you skip the lines and then TVD what this

Afternoon looks like this is the last day of all of the extended family being here we have one more day after that but we check out of this saund tomorrow and we go towards the airport the airport’s like 30 minutes out of town There’s a

Little town on the water and I found a couple things for rest to do there this really incredible like Bath House Spa situation um you can enter for for I forg if it was 30 or4 per person and spend all day there so I got us entrances to that um and then there’s

Also a bib Gourmand Restaurant which is like when Michelin Awards the food there but the food is super affordable in the US it’s where you can get like a whole like first course second course glass of wine all these things are under $40 I don’t know what the standards are here

With the Euros but maybe we’ll try that they seem to have lots of last minute reservations as well cuz it’s a casual restaurant so that’s kind of like what on top but caffeine first when I get ready going to switch out the battery to this camera we’re going to go see the

Coliseum we’re currently in route walking to the Coliseum but like everything surrounding us right now just looks fictional all these ruins that walking through this little Park look at the way that that building right up here just like turns into Hill side and then like straight drops down

And all the runes between here and there that’s pretty cool and we’ve made it I think I’m meeting the girls around the backside and Jordy and I are parting ways but wow it’s a lot bigger in person I mean it seems what like 50,000 people or something crazy let’s go find out let’s

Go find out let’s go learn the history pulling out the full Vlog cam so I can talk to y’all while we look at this together this is where they buried Julia Caesar and mallerie was just telling me that they rarely buried people from that time mostly it was cremated but we’re

Going to go see thank you oh wow so that’s where the tomb is and then here’s what it looks out over it is quite crowded not going to lie but we’re just surrounded in Ruins we’re entering the Coliseum and we’re brought over here because it’s the last little bit of

Decoration that used to be inside the Arches but it used to be like super detailed and exquisite through every single Arch throughout so that’s the last little bit you can still see okay we finally made it to the Coliseum and it is very crowded so you have to like

Wait your turn to see over the ledge at least over here in this balcony but look at how they built the platform halfway so you could still see all of those ruins underneath it right there it’s pretty cool they had an elevator system too that they would have the Gladiators

And the animals under the center and they would actually raise it a couple stories into the center of the ring so there used to be four levels and like the bottom one was the important Royal people and then two levels of men and then the fourth level was for women but

It was free for everybody to come and see which I did not know so now we’re super close to the Underground Level that you can see where they would keep all the animals and all the props and all the they would build like um different terrains for the animals to come out of

I look as tired as I feel we are leaving Coliseum off to lunch do you think it’s still true she said more people died building it than the games so then she said half a million people died so does that mean over 250,000 people died building it yeah it’s quite possible but

She said because they fell off they would fall off the scaffolding but they built it all in 5 years wrapped up a little casual lunch I got roro I feeling very carvy and we’re going to go to the Spanish stats look at this car um but that’s an area that is just

Something good to see and apparently it’s like kind of the nicer shops so thanks going to go shop around that Area found this little flower market H what’d you find verulus orange oraculus so pretty I love the Tulips can you like build your own bouquet with the greenery is that what they do they’re so Pretty we found one outlet store with like actually pretty good pricing and this says made in Italy like on the tag but it’s another beige sweater which I have several saying I wish I could be the type of person that wore jackets like this but this is Outlet discount

Designer and it’s still way too much money even for what is it 70% off it’s pretty fun though all right where are we we are in a cafe called kova man talini okay which is um a cafe in the same spot of the workshop of the artist kova who was a neoclassical

Artist so you know you have Renaissance and then you have Baro and then you have neoclassical which is kind of like the throwback to the Renaissance looking um and so in here you have casts of all of his sculptures so they’re not the exact sculptures but they’re the size in

Proportion that they would have been they were marble and everything he did was like very white very clean and pure the most famous he did two two of them identical Cupid and psyche and that’s my favorite one there’s one in the Lou and I think there’s one in Rome somewhere

And this W and he made them all in this building this was like his actual Workshop yeah I mean I don’t know if all but like yeah he made them and he thought they were all white and he didn’t know that they were painted because the real classical ones

Were painted um with different dyes like almost like costume but they just woren off but yeah they wore off over time they’re it’s like dyed from berries and you know juice and like whatever natural d and now it’s a restaurant pretty cool thanks for the history get you a drink good morning

It’s our last day in Rome we’re all packed up about to check out of this sa and head towards we’re just staying at the airport hotel but as I’ve mentioned in that area is like the really cool hotel with the really nice Spa with the entry I also found out that your entry

Includes like drinks and appetizers for free which makes the €40 for all day spa access seem even better cuz we can skip dinner we’re going to check out of here Uber that way drop our bags at the hotel and then go to the seafood restaurant um which I should probably I should

Probably find the name of it for youall cuz that’s helpful Quan DC there you go all right we got some oysters and some grilled octopus and they brought me out gluten-free bread which is so sweet and here’s the view from here it’s right on the marina right on the boats very

Fresh seafood so far highly recommend I’m full I’m tired it was great um quite a language barrier so we didn’t really know what we ordered they actually wrote down like the fish of the day in this book by hand um and it was all in

Italian of course and so we were like I don’t know what these things are but they put numbers for the allergens next to each month so we just ordered whatever didn’t have the one next to it cuz the one was gluten it’s all surprise uh the tuna ham was very interesting it

Was covered in pistachios and it was like cured like a ham um so that was fun I actually think that the risoto was my favorite and it was prawn and I’m not usually a fan of prawn but now we have called a taxi which here it’s really

Nice the taxi service is all through Uber so you get an actual taxi through Uber normally it’s cheaper and it’s weird they don’t ask you to tip the taxy on the Uber app anyways going to go Uber on over to QC oh also remember how I was

Trying to pronounce the name of this earlier it stands for 4112 which is the number of the place just in Italian it’s just those numbers in Italian makes me feel silly but um off to the hotel which is called QC ter morona W we’re here at this beautiful

Little Resort in the middle of nowhere there’s a a wellness Farm somewhere over here but I’m sure the front desk is in here and we could ask I’m on the last train right on now this time thinking of a place ring stay and miles between us Now I ended the footage on that Spa um I didn’t really feel great getting too many Clips I just kind of felt like it was weird to film too much there but guys if you go visit it’s right by the airport so I had a lot of people DM me

And say that they stayed there their last night or two and then super easy flight the next morning wish we did that but I would highly recommend I think I mentioned it is €44 for entry and I did not realize how expansive the buffet was

Going to be a lot of bread a lot of bread definitely a lot easier to eat there if you um are not gluten-free I made a dinner out of meats and cheeses and fruits and olives and they gave you two drinks per person mocktails or alcoholic and like it was just a whole

Bigger experience than I was expecting for the price point that was a great way to end the trip and then we had literally a 24-hour travel day back home um yesterday was our first day back home and I’m still feeling the jet lag so if

I feel a little bit off right now now you know why I want to say thanks again one more time to Mary Ruth Organics for sponsoring this video I’m going to have my code and my link and all the information in the description box down below honestly maybe I should do a more

In-depth video at some point recommending all the supplements I like because I like so many from them and there’s so many more that I haven’t even tried yet so I’m going to keep exploring their website myself I love youall I hope you have the best rest of your day

And I will see you back in California cuz clearly I’m back home very soon take all night all night all night all night all night if we’re looking for each other then it might just take some time so let’s take all night all night all night all night all Night
