Where to Eat the Most Amazing Ice Cream in Rome

Travel, Travel GuidesMarch 14, 2019

There are so many gelaterie around town, but you want to make sure you try one of the best! Here you can find the best ice cream in Rome!

WHERE THE LOCALS GO... Rome is such an incredible city and every time we go there we can’t wait to explore its street while eating the most amazing ice cream. I love all flavours but I think you can’t beat a creamy hazelnut or pistachio, although during the summer when the heat wraps the city, you might be tempted to go for a fruity and more refreshing sorbetto . . .

If you could go anywhere right now, where would yo If you could go anywhere right now, where would you go⁉ 🌍⁣
⁣
I would teletransport myself somewhere in sunny California! 😎☀ ⁣
⁣
This is where I was exactly one year ago! Next to some giant cacti, absorbing as much sun as they do!
I was driving 🚙 in the dark a few days ago, and I was driving 🚙 in the dark a few days ago, and I thought about all the things I have done in my life full of fear:⁣
⁣
✔Leaving my country and my family behind to start a new job in the UK without knowing anyone. I still remember the fear, traveling with all my belongings in a suitcase and the “what have I done” feeling, lying in a hotel bedroom alone that first night.⁣
⁣
✔Leaving the security of that job only 2 years later to move to London, accepting a job offer that paid way less with the hope to make more in the future.⁣
⁣
✔Leaving that job 12 years later to dedicate my time to my own business and to learn how to enjoy life more...⁣
⁣
Every time I took a new step forward, I was full of fear. Was that the right choice? What if it wasn't?⁣
⁣
But fear is what allows us to be better, to learn, to be brave.⁣
⁣
Let 2021 be the year to embrace your fear, and let it help you to empower you. 💪🙌💛
I debated for far too long whether I should share I debated for far too long whether I should share my recipes on Instagram...and you know what? Why not? 

I stopped caring about niching down, having a consistent feed, blah blah!

So here you go: from now on, you'll also get my my recipes, including my love for wholesome, delicious and nourishing food 😋

I am just going to have fun with this and post what I love ❤️

So today I have something sweet for you my friends! 🤩

It's not Christmas if the house doesn't smell like cookies! 

I love to make these soft, nutty chocolate hazelnut cookies pretty much once a week during the holiday season 🤤

The only problem is that when I bake them they don't last a day!

But if manage to bake them and don't eat them, you can even turn them into a delicious gift! 

What are your favorite cookies to bake for Christmas?
6 years ago, I was working like crazy, over 12 hou 6 years ago, I was working like crazy, over 12 hours a day...each day looked exactly like the next.⁣
⁣
I wanted things to change, but I didn't know what to do...How could I build the life I was longing for? I wanted to able to wake up without stress, without clients' emails waiting for me, without a list of problems longer than my notebook waiting to be tackled every day...⁣
⁣
That's when it hit me: I had to start my own business. I somehow convinced Dan that selling tea online was a good idea 😂 ⁣
⁣
But not any tea: organic tea, prepared in Sri Lanka, and with the option to add personalized messages on each box. It was called Foxy Tea, and it was our first go at starting an online business.⁣
⁣
I remember coming back from work at 9pm, printing labels and packing tea. Just adding stress to the stress lol!⁣
⁣
It was going pretty well, with some big shops in London wanting to stock it...But we felt it wasn't the right thing for us to pursue. We didn't feel excited 🔥⁣
⁣
But you know what? I am sooo happy we did it.⁣
⁣
It taught me so much about starting a company, product development, and wanting a business that was more hands-off and passive.⁣
⁣
And that has lead to starting Gathering Dreams exactly 2 years later. What a difference!⁣
⁣
But every time I think about that adventure, it reminds me of the importance of getting out of our comfort zone, and getting started.⁣
