Coming into this experience, I knew I would learn a lot, but I did not expect how much it would actually change me. At first, everything felt unfamiliar.

Ciao Florence!
As my time in Florence comes to an end, all I can do is reflect on the amazing memories I’ve made. From the class by the Duomo, to eating pizza 5 times a week, exploring the riverbank, and weekend trips, I have had an amazing semester. I am beyond grateful to have been able to…
Finishing up in Florence

As cliche as it may sound, I truly feel as though I’m walking away from these past four months as an entirely reshaped human being, my perspective on the world around me completely rearranged. This program marked my first taste of life beyond the borders…
My Time in Florence
It’s hard to look at this experience and see that I only have ten days left. It felt like last week were I was stressing that I would miss my connection in Frankfurt as I sipped champagne in my first class plane seat (I was randomly upgraded). While I now spend most of my time…
