## 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 This Meetup post is to share the event with the community. **To confirm your spot, registration via Eventbrite is required.** This helps us: * Keep the group small * Include breakfast and snacks * Avoid last-minute no-shows Eventbrite link: https://rometravelerswalk.eventbrite.it The small fee of 2,50 -5 euros includes everything from breakfast, snacks, Once registered, you’ll receive full details, the meeting point, and access to a temporary WhatsApp group for updates and reminders.

Nel frattempo potrai ordinare il tuo aperitivo alla carta e goderti l’atmosfera rilassata con la community. 🎁 **BOOK SWAPPING AL BUIO** Dopo la lettura, arriva il momento dello scambio: porta con te un libro **incartato** e preparati a regalarlo a una persona che non conosci… e a riceverne uno a sorpresa. Un modo poetico per scoprire nuove storie, fuori e dentro le pagine. 🧡 Poi ci rilassiamo, chiacchieriamo come vecchie amiche e amici, condividiamo pensieri, consigli di lettura, storie, e molto altro. ✨ **L’evento è aperto a tutte e tutti**. Puoi venire da sola o con qualcuno, ma di sicuro tornerai a casa con una nuova connessione e (forse) un nuovo libro del cuore. Porta un libro e goditi qualche ora offline con noi.

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/GLKnveF3opSIZe52n6FGj6)] 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.

Meet at Wolfe Park parking lot by tennis courts. We willl walk along Alum Creek trail, through Jeffrey Mansion Park then along Bexley neighborhood and back. Optional lunch at Trolley District.

**Summary** For this event, we will do the [Rhino Barn Tour](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) at [The Wilds](https://www.thewilds.org/), a ten-thousand acre conservation center in Muskingum County. It is the largest such center in North America and one of the largest in the entire world. During this tour, we'll visit The Wilds' rhino herd in their state-of-the-art heated barns and learn how The Wilds' animal management team takes care of one of the largest herds of rhinos outside of Africa and Asia. **The date and time of this tour** We will be doing the 1:00 p.m. [Rhino Barn Tour](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) on Saturday, February 28. The tour is scheduled to last 90 minutes. **What you need to do to attend** Signing up here on Meetup will not get you into The Wilds for the tour. You must go out to The Wilds' [website](https://www.thewilds.org/) and [buy a ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour). Please [purchase your ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour), then sign up here on Meetup so I know how many to expect. **Attendance cap** There are only eight total slots/tickets available for this tour. As I obviously have already bought one of the tickets, that leaves seven spaces for everyone else. If you are interested in this event, I urge you to [buy a ticket](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) at The Wilds' website as soon as possible. Since their website is obviously public, nothing prevents other people having nothing to do with *GOhio!* from buying their own tickets, thereby potentially taking an available slot away from you. **Additional notes on attendance** I have now run several events at The Wilds. While the location of The Wilds and the pricing of the tickets generally leads to small turnouts, the people who have gone have all enjoyed it and were glad they went. If you've never been to The Wilds and you like zoos or animals at all, you are likely to find any tour at The Wilds to be a rewarding experience. **Tickets and pricing** [Tickets](https://www.thewilds.org/rhino-barn-tour) for this tour are $95, or $76 if you're a Wilds' member. I've posted screen shots, below, to help you be sure you're buying tickets for the correct event. Wilds' memberships pay for themselves if you go to The Wilds at least twice a year, and [Columbus Zoo members](https://www.columbuszoo.org/membership) get a discount on memberships to The Wilds. I will always run at least two events a year at The Wilds. Tickets for all Wilds' tours must be purchased at least 24 hours in advance of the actual tour. **Cancellations and refunds** Per The Wilds' [Cancellation Policy](https://www.thewilds.org/policies): *In order to be eligible for refund and accrue no rescheduling fees, cancellations must be made at least 14 days in advance of reservation. Cancellations made within 14 days of reservation will not receive a refund.* You may [contact The Wilds](https://www.thewilds.org/contact) at (740) 638-5030 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., or you can email them at information@thewilds.org. **Waiver of liability** After you purchase your ticket, you will likely be asked to fill out a waiver of liability. This is a very short document and should take you no more than two minutes to complete. **Where we'll meet** We will meet at The Wilds, whose actual address is [14000 International Rd, Cumberland, OH 43732](https://www.google.com/maps/place/14000+International+Rd,+Cumberland,+OH+43732/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8837dae07a595557:0xa1ceca93325a8bd1?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111). Please try to be there by 12:30 p.m. For most Wilds' tours, a shuttle bus will take you to the actual spot of the tour. So think of this as though you're going to the airport to catch a flight. It helps to be on time. The Wilds generally asks that people arrive at least thirty minutes because the scheduled start time of their tour. **GPS / Getting to The Wilds** The Wilds is in a very rural area, but I've never had a problem getting there with my GPS (I have Verizon). I've also uploaded a JPG map, below, of Muskingum County. Sometimes, though, it's hard to get a signal when you're at The Wilds and getting ready to leave. So you might want to consider downloading an offline map in Google Maps. Your cell phone should pick up a signal, however, within a few minutes after you leave. The Wilds' Visitor Center does have free Wi-Fi. **Carpooling?** If you want to carpool, I recommend discussing this in the comments, below, to this event. While I don't myself carpool, I will do what I can to help you arrange something if I can. **The weather** Dress for the weather. Just because the barn is heated doesn't mean it will be warm. And wear closed-toed shoes. Wilds' tours typically run no matter what the weather is. **After the tour** Once we're done with the rhinos, we'll head over to the very highly rated [Y-Bridge Brewing Company](https://ybridgebrewing.com/). The brewery is about thirty minutes from The Wilds, and it will be on the way back to Columbus for most, if not all, of us. The brewery's actual address is [1417 Linden Ave Ste D, Zanesville, OH 43701](https://www.google.com/maps/place/1417+Linden+Ave+d,+Zanesville,+OH+43701/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x8837edd6cc50824f:0xe3a0af1ccb2aefbf?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111). Y-Bridge Brewing does not serve food; however, they have several [food options](https://ybridgebrewing.com/food-options). I encourage you to check these out ahead of time on their website for yourself. However, here are a few of them: *Within walking distance -- 120 feet away* * [Angry Bull Saloon](https://www.facebook.com/AngryBullSaloonZanesville/) (pizza & subs) * The Corner Pub Sports Bar and Grill (classic bar food) *Delivery options -- [Door Dash](https://www.doordash.com/)* * [4 Star Pizza](https://fourstarpizza.com/), (740) 452-9300 * [Donatos](https://www.donatos.com/), (740) 452-7900 * [Pizza Cottage](https://www.pizza-cottage.com/), (740) 455-6000 * [Dominos](https://www.dominos.com/), (740) 455-3126 * [Papa John's](https://www.papajohns.com/), (740) 450-4100 If you live in the area or can't make The Wilds but still want to meet us at the brewery, that's fine too.
