Gia, Traveler, Florence and Italy 22'

Traveling to Italy is a dream I didn’t think would come true until much later in my life; however, I was fortunate enough to visit Europe as a high school student, and the opportunity was life changing. Visiting Italy as a student not only helped deepen my history knowledge, but it also instilled a deep love for exploring other cultures and fully embracing the world around me. The entire trip was awe-inspiring, but what made it special was experiencing a new country with my classmates and teachers. Exploring museums with my teachers and walking the streets of Florence with my friends are memories that I’ll never forget!
