A Weekend in Florence, Italy!! | Study Abroad
The fun of traveling abroad is you are able to travel to other places too! I traveled to Florence with a group of people plus my best friend that I made on the plane to Italy! We rode on a train, my first train that I have rode on and it took about 2 hours to get there! The train system was cool because to think that is the main way people traveled in the past. It was so much fun seeing a different part of Italy.

Experiencing Carnevale in Italy
To celebrate Carnevale, I went with my roommates to a small town north of Rome called Ronciglione. We arrived in the morning as the celebrations were just starting. There were performers all around the streets, and we spent the morning exploring the old, winding streets of the city. All around town were all sorts of delicious food. Vendors selling baskets of colorful dried fruits, and fresh cheeses.
The Impact of Technology While Studying Abroad
The other night, I was sitting bored in my room when I decided to watch Roman Holiday. I’d been hearing the name a lot since I’d been here, so I decided it was necessary for me to watch a movie set in the place I’m living in this semester. After watching the movie, I started to wonder how my study abroad experience would have been different if I came during the 1950s when the movie was released.
