My move to Rome was quite sudden and since then, my experiences here have been beyond the ordinary. As a NYC Jazz singer, I am not your average expat, therefore, my life here has been extraordinary on various different levels.
My story is a long one, one that I shall tell, eventually. In the meantime, I am in search of my voice...as a writer. I need your help in order to find it. Please leave me all the feedback you can. I do respond. Please note that what I write is based on what I have lived and seen through my, sometimes rose-colored, glasses. It is not necessarily intended to always be objective nor even-sided. I write it as I see it, that is why this is called Glenys' Rome & Beyond.
I am merely an observer who has a story to tell and hopes that you will enjoy reliving theses past years along with me.
Thank you,
Glenys
I am currently working on the following articles. Some will be released shortly, others still need more research. Feel free to let me know if there are any particular topics which would interest you.

Certain things in Rome change with each season, such as the top lounges for aperitivo, the hottest clubs, the best restaurants and exciting things to do throughout the year. By subscribing, you will receive new articles as soon as they are published.
I only write about what I consider to be the best through my own personal experience or that of trusted friends. Unlike many guide books, I am not paid to include anyone. Since I am continuously invited to the openings of new restaurants, clubs and lounges, I will let you know whether it is worth your time and money.
I also tend to explore many areas of Italy and write about my discoveries of little-known spots that only the locals know about. I will pass on this precious information.
Stay informed.

Worst place in Rome. Bad food, bad service, expensive like a michelinrestaurant. Big warning dont try this place!
Thanks for confirming that this place is a huge scam. I think it is extremely important for tourists to start using their smartphones to look up restaurants before eating at them. The only way to stop restaurants in Rome from scamming tourists is to inform yourself first. If you check online and see that it is a scam, then you can avoid it. These restaurants will eventually have to change their practices if they stop getting customers.
