My first week in Florence was amazing! From meeting new friends and trying new foods to traveling to new places, it was a great way to start my study abroad journey.
This semester, I’m studying marketing as an American student in Florence, Italy. I’m excited to make new friends, explore new places, learn about Italian culture, and share my experiences with you!

As we near the end of our time together, I've gathered a list of things I have learned while being abroad.
For my first meal in Florence, I got a Prosciutto e Funghi pizza for only five euros with my new friends/classmates/neighbors that I met an hour before!

Come with me as I navigate Milan, Italy during the 2026 Winter Olympics and witness the Men's 5000m Speed Skating event!
