Rebbecca at work

This year I went to Rome for one month and had one of the best experiences of my life without spending a fortune.
I really wanted to come to Rome again (I had already been to the school the year before) but I couldn’t afford to come to Rome and pay for the course, so when I found out I could work as a gardener for a couple of hours a day in exchange for free lessons it sounded like the perfect opportunity.
I talked to Monika about it (the director of the school) and she agreed to let me do it the month of September. I was really excited about going to Rome a second time; it was nice knowing that I already knew my way round Rome fairly well and I knew the school and some of the teachers.
When I arrived I was a little bit nervous about doing my job well, but after the first day or two, I settled right in. I enjoyed doing the gardening; the garden is really pretty so it was a pleasure to take care of, it didn’t take up too much time which meant I could still go out and enjoy Rome with my friends after, and also it meant I had a little bit more pocket money to spend on going out.
My experience in Rome has been fantastic, the school is very friendly, if I ever had a problem doing the gardening the school was very easy to talk to and very helpful. The course was also very good, I learnt a lot of Italian while I was there, and I made some really good friends. The hardest part about going to Rome was leaving.
