👩🏾‍🦱 ABOUT ME 👩🏾‍🦱
Ciao y'all! My name is Kenya, and I'm an American living in Rome, Italy sharing my experiences and travels while living abroad. After beginning my obsession with Italy at the young age of 9 years old and visiting for the first time during a study abroad trip many years ago, I hatched a plan that somehow... someway... I would make it to Italy, and here I am!

First of all, congratulations on your 5 years anniversary in Italy. Girl, your content causes me to hope and continue to hold fast to my dream of studying/ living in Italy. Yes, your assumption about the food in Italy vs the food in the U.S. I believe to be TRUE! SMH Love seeing your transformation and your passion/joy is contagious! And the hair is simply flourishing and gorgeous! 🥰 I am curious how Easter is celebrated in Rome. I hope to experience it one day. Anywho, I could go on and on...but I will spare you. Tfs P.S. Will you be getting married this year in Rome or in the states? And did you meet your soon-to-be husband in Italy? (Sri I'm nosy! 😆)

I don’t know where to start. 😂😂 so much to unpack here, but first- thank you!!! I consider myself a pretty happy person 99.9% of the time… unless somebody tries me. Haha. In regards to the personal questions, he is Italian and I won’t go through with any huge event until the pandemic is officially declared over globally. If there are still travel restrictions entering/leaving countries or COVID test requirements, it complicates things! (For example, right now you can’t even enter the US without a negative COVID test when coming from abroad…)

Aww...thank you for answering my questions, Kenya! I am believing that everything will work out in your (and our) favor post- pandemic. 😆🙏🏽 Tfs and congrats, again!

I really appreciate your video Kenya! I've moved here in rome about six months ago and honestly it's been struggle because literally everything is so sooo different than what I've been used to in my country, starting from the language to the fact that we don't have any kind of taxes in my country and we don't use any kind of public transport, so it's really been struggle at first because I was literally not knowing how to buy a bus ticket and so on. your videos really helped me understand the situation here more so think so much! also loved your hair so much, would love to see a video about some of your favourite places to get good curly hair products!

I've just started following you and truly appreciate your content! I'm considering moving to Rome and am staying for ~2 months, I'm just learning about the political climate (upcoming elections) and am wondering if you have any reactions or different experiences with Romans based on more current events? Sorry for the long question, this is my 3rd time in Rome and have always felt it welcoming (as a tourist), but as I explore moving here -- that info has me on edge a bit.
