Ciao my loves!
So I am finally getting back to this list (check it out if you haven't!) I made prior to spending 4 months in Italy as a study abroad student. I can't believe the best semester of my life is over and I am graduating this upcoming year. Epic sad-excited-scared-all emotions in one-face. I am absolutely excited to return to school after experiencing more than I will ever again in college within those months.
I was able to visit: Venice, Verona, Positano, Rome, Capri, Pompeii, Nice, Eze, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Arrecife de Lanzarote, Morocco, Monaco, and London (I'm probably missing a few but many countries and cities!)
I cannot tell you how much I cried when I left Florence and had to head back home. I definitely left a piece of my heart in Italy and it will remain there forever <3
Here are some fun ideas for any of you embarking on the semester of your life in Europe for study abroad or if you need ideas for your next European escapade.
It is the moment of truth and I can finally share all that I accomplished on my study abroad bucket list!!

Happy birthday! I can't wait until I study abroad during my junior year of college (I'm a rising sophomore). I'm currently writing up a summer bucketlist, so it's really inspiring to see that you were able to do so many new things! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
