The Conservatorium van Amsterdam has a two week break for the orchestra project, so I decided to do some solo traveling! October is a great month to visit the Alps. I started in France, then Northern Italy, then Switzerland. It was a great experience traveling alone. It could be scary at some times, but I always ended up finding nice people to help me along the way. I really enjoyed seeing mountains and experiencing other European cultures.

My name is Emily Nazario. I am a senior at Ithaca College studying flute performance. This fall, I will be studying abroad in Amsterdam, The Netherlands through IES's program: Conservatorium van Amsterdam- Direct Enrollment. I am beyond thrilled to have this opportunity to learn and grow, not only in my musical abilities, but also in life experience. I am excited to meet and connect with people from around the world, and immerse myself in a new culture.
