Hi there! My name is Atiya Byrom, and earlier this year, I lived abroad in Milan, Italy! I learned so much about Italy's history, culture, and beautiful language, and I'm excited to re-live those experiences together with you.
I currently live in Atlanta, Georgia, which is a pretty big city, but I've always been curious about the way people in other countries live. What do they eat? What do they like to do for fun? What is their country's history? While in Milan, I received the answers to all of these questions and much more. During this virtual exchange journey, I hope I can inspire you to seek a better understanding of the world, and maybe even plan a study abroad adventure of your own someday!
