Grazie, Italia!

Well, that’s my trip! I can’t believe I actually pulled off blogging about it, but more importantly, I’m so happy I took this trip for myself and by myself. I don’t think I ever imagined going to a foreign country in a continent I’ve never been before all alone. I was so nervous leading up to it, but I am incredibly overjoyed and proud of the entire experience, and the nerves disappeared so fast upon arriving to Florence.

Believing in “luck” and “wishes” may be superstitious, but I am abundantly lucky for being able to have this opportunity. Maybe Il Porcellino had something to do with it?

And, it never hurts to make a wish for more blessings to come along…

Thanks to all my peeps back home for actually reading my blog and all your comments! I was miles away, but never felt alone and was happy to write again! It’s been awhile since I wrote this much and it was really cool being able to share my trip with you guys. It feels good to be back home in what will always be the greatest city in the world to me.

Of course, thank you to my new friends in Italy, who exceedingly contributed to a very memorable trip – Federica, Eduardo, and crazy Marcial, who I hope will never find my blog about him haha!

Grazie, Italia! Mi hai aiutato a sfidare me stesso in modi che non ho mai pensato che avrei. Questo viaggio è uno io conservo per tutta la vita.
