From Beautiful Louisiana to Bella Italia


Ludovico and me at the Rotary meeting

Ciao! Well, I'm about to go to Italy for a year as a Rotary Youth Exchange Student. I am setting up this blog so that my friends and family at home can see what I am up to while traveling around Italy. This blog will also serve as a type of journal. I hope to read this blog at the end of my stay in Italy and remember all the fun I had there. I cannot wait to see how my worldview will change throughout the year. Having never been out of the country (except for one day in Canada for a hike) I am extremely excited about my trip! Only 11 days 15 hours and 17 minutes until my plane leaves. Not that I'm counting or anything. I cannot wait to meet my new family in Italy! But i hate to leave my amazing family in Louisiana. This year, and the years to come will be a learning experience for everyone. Wish my luck.

"To live would be an awfully big adventure." (J.M. Barrie)

Ciao!
