Now you too can share this experience, and enjoy la dolce vita while immersing yourself in the physical, historical and cultural wonders of Italy.

After savouring Italy, travel to London, and experience for yourself the ‘wow’ factor of this quintessential world city. Explore the ancient and modern culture of this extraordinary and ever-changing city, with it’s iconic landmarks (Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the London Eye, to name a few), bustling markets, and wealth of museums and galleries.

Writing Travelogues, Creating Blogs

As you travel, create a personal memoir by blogging about your adventures in Italy.  Travel provides unique opportunities to interact with people of different cultures and to gain insight into yourself.  Students frequently declare that a travel abroad program was the best experience of their lives: treasure your memories with a unique written and photographic record.
