Hi, I'm Shyloh!
In just a little while, I'll be heading off to spend 4 months studying abroad in Florence, Italy, and I already know it's going to be such an adventure. Florence will be my home base, but every weekend I'll pack my bag and head off to somewhere brand new. Sometimes a different city in Italy, sometimes a whole new country! I won't know exactly what I'll find, and that's my favorite part.
Along the way I'll be trying all kinds of new foods (some I probably can't even pronounce yet), taking fun classes I'd never find back home, and meeting people from all over the world who I hope will become real friends. I'm sure every week will bring something I didn't expect, whether it's a tiny town I stumble upon, a dish that becomes my new favorite, a new best friend, or a story from someone I just met that I'll remember forever.
I can't wait to show you everything, like the incredible places, the funny mix-ups, the new friends, and all the little moments in between. So come along with me each week as I explore new corners of the world. There is so much coming, and I'm so excited to share it all with you!
