Hi Everyone,
My name is Mireille. For my internship I going to work at FAO in Rome. At this page I'll keep you updated on my experiences. You can also follow me (@mireille.vanempel) and other WURldexplorers on Instagram: search for #WURldexplorers! See you!
Rome, here I come!
Hi everyone, I am glad to write you that I am also joining the club of ‘WURLdexplorers’. After some rainy weeks I can’t wait any longer to meet my next destination; Rome. In the next 5 months I will discover this major Roman city, known by its impressive cultural history.
Home sweet Rome
Already 5 weeks ago I started at the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). So far I am really enjoying the time being here. I have a nice apartment which I share with two other friendly housemates in Testaccio. It is just a 10 minutes’ walk from the head office. So many things happened. I will try to give you a nice summary about my experiences.
Ciao Tutti!
My previous housemates from Wageningen just left, we spend a weekend together here in Rome. I was supposed to guide them around but I still don’t know Rome by heart. Therefore, every time I discover new areas as well. Rome has so many nice districts that you will never be bored walking around so at the end I did quite a good job.
Roma vs Inter Milan
Italy is a soccer country and therefore we bought tickets for an exciting match, Roma vs Inter Milan. The game was in Stadium Olympic and took place 30th of November. It was a nice match as there were a lot of goals. Finally Rome won with 4-2.

The week of the second international conference on nutrition was a really special one at the FAO. As I told before I applied as volunteer to help during these days. Ministers, mainly from health, agriculture or consumer protection, from all over the world participated during these 3 days.
