Why did you choose to study or intern abroad?
I chose to study abroad because I’ve only ever lived in California, so I wanted a chance to see more of the world, and to live in and explore other countries. I chose to study in Florence because I have been there once and loved the architecture, the art, the food, and the people.

What IS ONE NEW EXPERIENCE YOU'RE HOPING TO HAVE WHILE ABROAD?
One experience I’m hoping to have is to be able to travel as much around Italy as I can while I’m living there. I want to be able to explore the Amalfi Coast, Rome, Tuscany, Milan, Venice, etc. When I’m in Italy I also want to find the best pizza and take notes and rank every different pizza I try.

What CLASS ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO TAKING while ABROAD?
I’m most excited to take my Italian class, I’ve been trying to learn basic Italian before I go. I want to be able to have full conversations in Italian by the end of my program.

WHAT IS SOMETHING you're passionate and excited about? 
I’m very excited to see all the sites around Florence and check out the markets and shopping.
