So far so good!

I can’t believe we’ve been in Firenze for almost a month now, the time has flown by! I have definitely settled into a routine here and it has started to feel like home. My apartment is in a good location, it’s a 25 minute walk from classes which really gets my steps in every day!…

The end is finally here, and I’m sad to say goodbye to this experience. After being home for a bit, I’ve been able to more clearly reflect on this opportunity and all the amazing memories I made along the way. During the first week, I set up a few goals for myself that I wanted…
