I studied abroad in Florence, Italy for three and a half months and it was a highlight of my life. Being removed from New York society and experiencing a new language, culture, and country has opened my eyes to the world. Studying abroad in Italy has allowed me to travel throughout Europe to countries such as Belgium, Ireland, and France. It was a privilege to experience each countries geography, art, and culture, even for a short period of time. I've truly learned what it means to be independent during my time studying in Italy, which is something so important for a career woman to possess.
