One of the most meaningful and memorable trips of my life. The experience blended education, culture, history, incredible food, and genuine fun in a way that felt both inspiring and deeply energizing. Every day offered opportunities to learn, explore, connect, and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and rhythm of Florentine culture. The trip impacted me so profoundly that I even used it as the foundation for a commencement address after returning home. Truly an experience I will cherish for years to come.
