“I’ll say it: I miss Urbino,” Kassidy admitted on our train back from Florence. That was the moment we knew that Urbino was home-base. I had a lot of firsts on this trip: first time on a plane, first time in Europe, first time being a journalist. Stepping outside of my comfort zone was really the theme of my time here. Through that, I was able to dive headfirst into the rich culture and community of Urbino, and make some friends along the way. It is truly an experience I will share with my loved ones at home. Without a little leap of faith, I never would have found home-base.
