Study Abroad Program:
I actually never studied abroad, and I regret it, but I’m out here now anyways!
What made you decide to come out to work for FlorenceForFun?
“Well I first visited John [Zewinski] last fall- we were friends in high school- and I visited five countries while here. Easily the best vacation I’ve ever had.
At the time I had just moved to Florida, which had been my dream my whole life. After working at a cubicle day in, day out, it wears on you. I needed more adventure and fun in life. So I subleased my room in Tampa, and came here.
I gave up a lot in Florida, but I gained a lot more.
His advice to Study Abroaders?
You never know if you’re gonna come back [to Europe] to not. Don’t go back to America with regrets about things you didn’t do. Do everything you can now. Reach out to people.
