My Travel Story

Hi, we're Emily Puckett and Desirae Daugherty, we are both current students of Indiana - Purdue University of Fort Wayne (IPFW). We are raising money to study abroad this summer in Italy, since it is a study abroad program the cost is more than a general class at IPFW. We will be going for three weeks and will be visiting Rome, Venice, Florence, Padua, Orvieto, Ostia Antica, and Siena. The money provided will go solely to this trip for both of us, and this money pays for round trip airfare from Fort Wayne, room and board, meals, transfers to and from airports and hotels in Italy, transportation in Italy between designated cities, bus/tram/subway tickets in Rome, Valporetto (water taxi) tickets in Venice, entry fees into 20+ art venues, and Purdue University insurance.

Desirae and I need $5,000 each for the cost of this trip and it all goes to the above list. We need to get the final deposit is due March 1, 2017. This means a lot to both of us, myself (Emily) being an Art History minor and getting to see some of the most famous art pieces in the history of art and getting to learn about them up close would just be an amazing experience for me. Desirae, being an Interior design major, wants to enjoy this experience to see the ancient architecture, that is still used today. She would also like to see the space planning used in other countries to help broaden not only her horizons but also help broaden the styles used in America by bringing back some useful ideas from Italy. We would both be extremely grateful to receive any money towards this trip. We are both thrilled to be given this opportunity and would appreciate any form of contribution towards this wonderful learning experience. Thank you for your time!
