Education Volunteering in Florence, Italy

It was such a unique opportunity, not only being able to study a semester abroad but get the chance to have an internship as well. AIFS made it a very easy process leading up the start of the program which made it an easy transition once I got over there and am extremely appreciative of this experience I was able to have.

To put it simply: studying abroad changed my life. The thought of going abroad for the first time can be really scary and intimidating but I promise you it will be worth it. I learned how to appreciate the small moments, connect with the local community, and most importantly I gained a better understanding of who I was as an individual. Studying abroad truly changed my perspective and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to call Florence my home. Through it all SAI remained a helping hand and the moments and memories made in Florence will be cherished forever.
