Currently enrolled at the University of Iowa and majoring in Communication Studies, I will be studying abroad at Florence University of the Arts this upcoming Spring 2013 semester.
I was advised to keep a blog during my time overseas and not really sure if I am much of a writer, but guess we'll just have to see.
16 days from now my flight takes off for a short layover in Frankfurt, then proceeding to Florence.
It still has not hit me that I will be finally returning back to Italy, and this time, way longer than two weeks... 4 months to be exact.
After receiving my VISA, registering for classes, filing for a credit card and figuring out a cell phone plan, I am steps closer to being completely ready to leave the country. All I have left is to mentally prepare myself for a big culture change, and be able to fit my life into one suitcase........ or two. :)
As if taking classes and having an apartment out there wasn't exciting enough, I just landed a marketing and events internship with Euroadventures! Euroadventures is a travel company offering day/weekend/break trips from Florence, Rome, Barcelona, Prague, Greece, London and many other places throughout Europe. I will be doing a bit of everything involved from social media, to creating/assisting on the ground events, and marketing this company to other students.
To not only be living and studying in Italy, but now receiving this internship experience is truly a dream come true. With all this excitement I am feeling extremely motivated and determined. I am so blessed to be able to have this amazing opportunity and cannot wait to see what is in store.
Xo,
Karina
