Final Weeks in London
I have a little over two weeks left here in London, which is crazy as I feel like my experience just started a month ago. I’m lucky enough to have had the chance to meet countless international students and friends, travel to over a dozen countries, and fall in love with this home I call…
Ciao Florence!
My experience abroad has been one of the most meaningful and transformative periods of my life.

Arrivederci!

This unique experience to immerse myself in a foreign culture has allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone and find comfort in the uncomfortable. I am now able to say that Florence feels like…
