Hi and welcome to my blog!

I’m a recent college grad who studied abroad in Florence, Italy in the Spring of 2016 and came home with a new outlook on the world. I was never much of a traveler before I went abroad but I quickly fell in love with the endless opportunities and new things to discover that come with traveling somewhere new. You can usually find me behind the camera regardless of my location, and I have thousands of photos from abroad as evidence. I filled my notebook almost everyday documenting everything possible because as much as I’d like to think I’d remember it all, there was just no way. When I came home last summer, even though I originally wrote down everything just for myself, I knew I wanted to organize all my photos and notes into something that wasn’t just in a notebook I would read maybe once a year. Since then, I’ve had friends ask me for suggestions so I figured putting the information I’ve collected into a blog would be a great way to share my photos and stories with others. Now that I just graduated college and have a little more time to focus on this without the distraction of school, I’m hoping to update this blog weekly so bare with me for a few weeks while I get started! I spent almost 5 months in Florence, went to 6 countries aside from Italy and thirty something cities but I’m not an expert about Europe or studying abroad by any means! I’ve just compiled everything I learned or wish I knew before going in the hopes to help someone else, whether they’re studying abroad and not sure where to start or just looking for a new place to eat! If you have any questions or recommendations you think I should add, feel free to contact me and I will credit you! Enjoy!
