My Travel Story

Hi everyone! I'm so excited to share that I'm given the opportunity to travel abroad in one of my favorite cities, Florence, Italy in spring of 2024. One morning I woke up eager to see if there was a studying abroad program through Cuesta College, and to my luck there is... Sorta, I will be transferring to Santa Barbara City College for my spring semester and using their program to travel abroad. I'm absolutely so excited and can't wait to submerge myself in the culture and schooling in Florence. I will be there from early February until May, and taking 14 units while being there, and of course taking advantage of every opportunity I can to travel throughout the countries. For my senior trip last summer I was given the best opportunity to travel to Europe and Florence was one of my favorite cities, I cannot wait to live there for a few months and be able to discover so much more, I can't wait to see how much growth I have with myself and my amazing friends that I will be making along the way! Thank you!!!
