As a writer, most of my work is already spent at my laptop. But my wife, as a yoga instructor, needed to be near her studios in New York City in order to maintain her clients. Not anymore. When everything went online, so did yoga. Now, well into our third year of the pandemic, we are almost entirely remote with the upside of living wherever we want. The first stop on our around-the-world-remote-work adventure: a month in Roma.

Rome is one of my favorite cities in the world. We all know the big players here: the Colosseum, the Vatican, the pasta. But having an extended period of time in this capital city has provided incredible memories and off-the-beaten-path experiences. Whether you have three days or 30, it’s impossible to see everything.
