About Me

Mariam Makatsaria

I was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, a pint-sized country in the heart of the Caucasus with an endearing food-and-wine-obsessed culture. I grew up in Cairo, Egypt where I learned the language and accepted Middle Eastern traditions as my own. Now, I’m in the United States—or more specifically, in sunny California—writing and editing my days away. As a journalist, I’m someone who’s constantly listening and asking questions.

I don't look at restaurant reviews in Italy (unlike when in the US). Instead, we just walk all day, racking up close-to 30,000 steps a day. When we get hungry, we stop at the first restaurant we see that looks good. (And it's almost always fantastic). Simple as that.

Waiting to dine al fresco, because frankly, that's the only way you should eat and drink in Italia!

When in Rome, wander. Explore. Get lost. Never pass up an opportunity to step into a church, because chances are, you'll stumble across a masterpiece or two. (Word to the wise: if you don't have wifi to find your way home, downloading offline Google maps will do the trick).

Bummed I'm missing LA Fashion Week, but I feel like I'm getting my fashion fix here in Rome! Italian women are always dressed to the nines, even if they're making a quick run to the grocery store. I can't tell you how many times I've stopped to admire someone's boots, bag or blouse. Just another thing I absolutely love about this city.

I can't believe I'm leaving Rome. I'm so, so in love with this city for a myriad of reasons I need to sit down and write about. (They say Rome is like a big lasagna, layer on top of layer of beautiful history and culture. I feel like I soaked up enough inspiration to last me a year or two). But I'm not leaving Italy quite yet. Packing again and heading out to Florence tomorrow!

Back when I was gallivanting around DTLA (now I'm knee-deep in work trying wrap everything up before my trip to Italy). I cannot wait to explore Europe and walk, walk, walk all day. 📸: @keepingitkrischic
