Hello,
I will visit Rome at 9-16 December. I want to find a friend from there.
If anyone can help me, I would be very glad.
Thanks
Thank you very much
leaves = departs from. You meant, "lives in Rome".
You could also look at couchsurfing.com or meetup.com to see if there are any social events while you're in Rome.
Have a great time! :D
