My Journey in Florence Fall 2012

The moment I made the decision to apply for the Florence program with Global Experiences, I knew it was going to be an extraordinary experience. I was a managerial intern at a restaurant for two months. I learned about all aspects of the restaurant industry from two fabulous owners that I worked for. Global did an amazing job in positioning me with the right people and company during my internship abroad. I also learned a lot about the city of Florence from my personal adventures through Global Experience's Scavenger hunt. Through this scavenger hunt, I met many interesting people and found many unique places that allowed me to make the most of my time in Florence. Furthermore, the field trips that Global took us on were to Cinque Terre, Verona and Lake Garda, Florentine Soccer game and Chianti. I was more than content with all of these diverse trips because it allowed me to really understand what the Italian culture was all about. The Global Experience program was absolutely incredible. It opened up many doors for me in the professional world. I recommend the Florence Internship Abroad program to anyone who enjoys being part of an extraordinary program in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The combination of the two doesn't get any better.
