At Rome Abroad, we serve as the liaison between English-speaking Americans who seek a European experience and Italian families who want to improve their English skills. We are dedicated to letting you live your dreams of traveling to beautiful places and exploring the world. It's our mission to facilitate that discovery as much as possible. That's why we find families in Italy who want to improve their children's English (and their own as well) by living with a native speaker. We ensure that these families are safe, the environment is pleasant, and that personalities are matched up in the best way possible. Then we help adventure-seeking Americans travel to spend 6-12 weeks living their life to the fullest in the beautiful country of Italy with local families in need of English conversation exposure. So why not live abroad for a few weeks? Whether you're a recent high school graduate looking for an adventure or a college student looking to spice up your resumé, a trip to Italy may be just the right thing for you. And hey, as you discover a new country, a new lifestyle, and a new culture, you might discover a lot about yourself.
