Ciao amici! Our meetup in Rome brings together friendly faces every Saturday at 7:30 PM. [[Click this WhatsApp groupchat link to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FzXKIQUFy6e0iG24XlTQUJ) ] We're mostly in our 20s and 30s, and we love a good chat Travelers, expats, and locals blend into a community that speaks all languages — especially kindness.

Nel cuore di Roma si trova uno dei luoghi più curiosi e poco conosciuti della città: il Monte Testaccio, chiamato anche Monte dei Cocci. Questa collina artificiale si è formata tra il I e il III secolo d.C. con l’accumulo di milioni di frammenti di anfore utilizzate per trasportare merci, soprattutto olio dalle province dell’Impero. Durante la visita scopriremo come è nata questa sorprendente “montagna di terracotta” e cosa racconta sulla vita economica dell’antica Roma. Programma: visita guidata di circa 1 ora. Al termine, piccolo momento conviviale con un supplì e una bottiglia d’acqua per ogni partecipante. Prezzo: €25 a persona. La quota comprende: guida esclusiva e microfonaggio, tour in lingua italiana. Biglietto d’ingresso al sito: gratuito per i residenti di Roma, €4 per i non residenti (da pagare in contanti prima della visita). Prenotazione: obbligatoria( posti limitati). Punto di incontro: Monte Testaccio, Via Nicola Zabaglia 24. Contatti: 📧 info@landimensiontravel.it 📞 +39 3200370672 Note: si raccomanda la puntualità. Rimborso possibile fino a una settimana prima dell’evento; dopo tale termine non è previsto.

## Whatsapp group https://chat.whatsapp.com/EcNvCIJkBYX44Q18qYie01?mode=gi_t Ever wished you could explore Rome while actually meeting people, not just walking past them? This is a **social breakfast and walk hosted by a local**, created for travelers, expats, and anyone curious about experiencing Rome in a relaxed, human way. We meet over breakfast, get to know each other, then wander through the city together, letting conversation and curiosity guide the walk. This is **not a guided tour** and there’s no fixed route. Think of it as exploring Rome with new friends rather than following an itinerary. ### What we'll do * Meet for an Italian breakfast and casual introductions * Take an easy social walk through central Rome ( Piazza del Popolo- Spagna- Trevi Fountain, Colosseum, Pantheon and Castel Sant'Angelo) * Pause at a few spots to chat, take photos, and mingle * End near the Vatican City, with the option to continue to lunch together ### What’s included * Breakfast of your choice (drink + pastry) * A small traditional snack during the walk * A relaxed, small-group experience * Hosted in English by a local, with everyone free to speak any language ### Optional tip At the end of the walk, there will be an **optional tip or donation** for the host. This is never expected, but always appreciated if you enjoyed the experience and helps us cover the cost of organizing these walks. ### Important: how to join FREE TO JOIN Once registered, you’ll save your spot and also you can join our Whatsapp group linked above If you enjoy slow walks, good conversation, and meeting people from around the world, this event is for you

**Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in!** **We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind.** **If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward at Prost Beer and Wine Cafe. Www.prostcafe.com**
