A 1999 trip to the Bel Paese and a kiss from an Italian boy made Nicole fall in love with Rome. Not being able to stop thinking about cappuccinos and her Italian amore, Nicole Arriaga packed her bags and left sunny Miami to make Rome her permanent home. Before moving to the Città Eterna in 2003, Nicole did stints in TV news and worked as a producer/writer for the Miami Herald.
Nicole has written for Fodor’s, Insight Guides, Romeing and other travel publications. She currently works as a freelance writer and programs coordinator for an American study-abroad organization in Rome. https://plus.google.com/117783868094323314817/
