I had an absolute blast in beautiful Florence! Through this program, I was surrounded by open-minded people from different backgrounds who were eager to explore and try new things. I didn't think it was possible to learn so much so fast, but thanks to an amazing instructor, Mr. Daniele, I learned how to produce my own jewelry. Best four weeks I ever had abroad!
