As a recent graduate from Colorado State University with the opportunity to attend this study abroad trip, I knew that I had to take the opportunity and step outside my comfort zone. This may have been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have grown significantly as a person and journalist throughout my time in Urbino and I am so very grateful for all of the people and experiences I have met and had here. I have realized my potential and feel confident and determined to apply what I have learned on this trip to my career and overall life. Urbino has allowed me to immerse myself into its rich culture, history, and meet inspiring people along the way. I am now confident in my decision to dedicate a lot of my life and career into travel journalism and see as much of this beautiful world as I can.
