Ciao a tutti<\/em> and welcome back!<\/p>\n

I hope you all are doing well! I know it’s been a minute since I last posted, but as any student knows, the last month of a semester is always the busiest and hardest. And unfortunately, my time here in Florence, Italy is now coming to an end. So as the semester slowly finishes, I want to wrap things up by writing a series of blogs on my favorite happenings over the semester.<\/p>\n

On today’s addition \u2014 the time I stayed in 3 countries over the course of a week!<\/p>\n

What originally started as a calm week filled only with a short class trip to Naples, quickly turned into a long but exhilarating week of travel when I decided I wanted to try traveling as much as possible before the semester was over. Especially after my first solo trip to another country that I talked about in my last blog (Bruges, Belgium) was a success, I was way more comfortable booking more solo trips \u2014 even back to back. And so my chaotic week of travel began.<\/p>\n

I started in Vienna, Austria, a city I had wanted to go to for years and had heard such amazing things about.<\/p>\n

This city was unlike any other I have been to. It was perfectly clean, had beautiful architecture, and had “green spots” everywhere. As much as I love Florence, the city doesn’t have much nature to appreciate unless you take a bus outside the city center. Vienna had greenery and grassy areas to sit at almost every corner of the city.<\/p>\n
