Having never travelled to Europe, I knew this trip was going to be an unimaginable experience, but my expectations were most definitely exceeded just after one day of living in Urbino. Although Urbino is such a small town, it has taught me bigger things that I am going to remember and carry with me for the rest of my life. This once in a lifetime opportunity has not only helped me grow my skills with regards to media, but it has also helped me discover who I am and showed me what I want to contribute to this world. I learned that friends come from the most unexpected opportunities like this one. I learned that if you are passionate enough about something, it doesn’t feel like work. And most importantly, I learned that a trip to the gelato shop is the best way to procrastinate getting work done. I cannot thank Urbino enough for what its given, showed, and taught me; as well as the strangers that turned into lifelong friends. Until next time, Urbino!
