I was in Rome last week, it was beautiful, inspiring, refreshing. It was for work, but I had a little time to enjoy the surroundings as well.
On my way back to the airport - random conversations, as always, to kill the time.
But this driver really intrigued me. He was tall, good looking, told me he was going to university to get a law degree although he really loved his job, driving for the hotel.
Then he told me about his wife. He has been with her for 12 years, 7 of them married. He moved to Rome from his home 10 years ago and she came with him.
He said he made her a promise: "I will never spend more than two nights apart from you." He said he has been offered jobs to drive to Napoli or Venice, but he only takes them if he can keep the promise he made to his wife.
So far he hasnt broken it.
