The Molise Italian Studies program was a wonderful way to be immersed in the Molise region, some of the Puglia region, and Rome. By visiting some of the smaller, lesser-known areas in these regions, I got to see firsthand how people live, work, and support their communities through the activities and social work experiences. I can say I grew as a person and have a new outlook on my everyday life at home. It was evident that Italians in these regions value community and connection. I appreciated the opportunities to participate in activities at some of the agencies, such as at LAI and in Capracotta, rather than simply observing the activity. Our tour leader, Andrea, was kind, patient, organized, and knowledgeable throughout the entire trip.

The Intern Group provided me with a memorable experience in Madrid, Spain, from which I learned professional, social, and intercultural skills. The activities organized allow interns to meet their peers and make friends for life. We are currently planning our next trip together! If you like exploring, plan trips for every weekend because you won’t have the time during the week between work and outtings with friends. My onboarding experience with TIG was also great because they were patient with me wanting to find the best fit for my field of study. What is your advice to future travelers on this program? Find a balance between planning ahead and living in the moment because there is a lot to take your time with in Madrid, but lots of amazing things to see nearby for an affordable price!
