On my first international trip at age 21, I got food poisoning on the flight to Italy. I spent my first day in Rome in a hospital, unable to keep anything down. My mom, despite not being an experienced traveler, flew over to help me.
With her support, I slowly recovered in an air-conditioned hotel room. Together, we explored Rome for a few days, visiting the Colosseum, Vatican, and Trevi Fountain.
Although my trip didn’t go as planned, I ended up having an unforgettable experience with my mom. The memories we made walking the streets of Rome together are priceless.
