Visiting over 10 cities in Italy, Katie Hinnenkamp has been all over the map of Italy. During her 2013 spring semester, Katie studied abroad through a program offered by her university in Florence, Italy.

Over the four month period, Katie took advantage of weekend opportunities to travel around. Her travels were heavily focused in Italy, but Katie also visited France, Spain, England, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic! Of all the cities and countries Katie visited during her study abroad program, she shared with me that her favorite place was Prague. Katie also shared with me that her favorite memory abroad was sword fighting with French baguettes in front of the Eiffel Tower!

In terms of advice, Katie said, "Definitely study abroad! It is true when people say it is the best time of your life! You will never have an opportunity like this again. Take advantage of everything study abroad has to offer, it is an eye opening experience."

Looking into the future, Katie hopes Ireland is the next stop in her travel adventures!
