What made you decide to work for FlorenceforFun?
When I was a study abroad student I became friends with many members of the FlorenceForFun staff. The FFF crew had such a huge impact on making my study abroad experience the best time of my life and I wanted to help incoming students the same way!
Advice for Study Abroaders?
My best advice for study abroad students is to be a YES man! Always say yes to traveling, going out, meeting new people etc. because you only have a short period of time in Florence and you do not want to have any regrets.
Most important thing you learned while studying abroad?
Be happy and live life in the moment! I’ve learned that being happy and having great experiences are more valuable than money; “Time is more valuable than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.” – Jim Rohn
