I have always been interested in different cultures and different parts around the world. When I turned 15 years old, my family decided to celebrate my <em>quince<\/em> and travel to Europe, a dream come true! Not only did I visit Paris, but also, Croatia, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Greece and we even drove through Austria. That experience is something I will never forget and to this day, I remember visiting all these places and seeing them through a different perspective. When I am older with a family, I will share this marvelous experience to them and hopefully one day, do the same.<\/p>\n<p>The process preparing for my departure has been very stressful. My mom wanted everything perfect for me and was acting like I was leaving to another planet for years. Even though I am only going to study abroad in Italy for 4 months, I felt very pressured to make sure I packed everything I needed. I also felt overwhelmed with emotions as I said goodbye to my family and friends for 4 months, especially Rollins.<\/p>\n<p>However, I think while I am abroad I will learn many things. I will especially develop skills that I didn\u2019t know I had before and I am definitely excited to experience something so different and learn about the Italian culture at the same time. Of course, I am nervous to live somewhere other than the U.S. but I believe I have traveled to many places all around the world that I have some sort of insight to whatq it is like. I can not wait to explore Rome, the \u201ceternal city\u201d!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The reason I wanted to go abroad was because ever since a little girl my dad has always loved to travel with me and he is the one who showed me how to travel.
