My Travel Story

by: Emalia Katelanis Start Date: Oct 30, 2022 - End Date: Mar 1, 2023
I am reaching out to family and friends in hopes you will help support me for my Study Abroad trip.  I am currently a Senior at Chapman University and will be traveling to Florence in January for the travel course: The Beauty of Ideas in Florence.  This is my last opportunity to study abroad due to the study abroad programs were cancelled due to pandemic over that past two years.  As an aspiring Marketing professional, this trip means the world to me. However, with this amazing opportunity, comes with expensive and great costs. I need your help in supporting me to make this trip possible. Your donations will go toward my airfare, tuition, food, museum entry fees, etc.   Any small donation is greatly appreciated.  Your donation means more than words can express. 

I am fascinated by the opportunity to witness the beauty of Florence and how ideas are born. I am thrilled at this opportunity to learn from artisans abroad, how they gain inspiration and how they bring their ideas to life.  I will be researching and preparing a research paper on parallels between the Renaissance and the post-Pandemic environment. This travel course embodies the exact opportunity I am craving to fuel my artistic creation and inspiration – extending my palette of knowledge and experience on a global scale. Attending this travel course will enable me to practice my core values and have an impact beyond my local community. 

No matter how small, every donation will help and I am incredibly grateful. Thank you so much!
