My Semester in Florence, Italy

Hi! My name is Skye Austin and I have an immense passion for travel! I was extremely blessed with the opportunity to study abroad in Florence, Italy in the Fall of 2023 and it was the best experience of my life. I had been dreaming of studying abroad since high school so I am very grateful I got to live out that dream. I am currently a junior at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, majoring in Travel Industry Management with an emphasis in tourism and transportation. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and have always loved seeing new places, trying new things, and meeting new people. I love the beach, hiking, dancing, exploring, and anything that involves the water! I hope you enjoy reading about my experiences while studying abroad in Florence, how I navigated through the city, and my other fun adventures throughout Europe! Ciao!
