AIFS Program: Florence, Italy
Hi I’m Alexandra Landry. I’m a senior at Curry College. I’m majoring in Communication, concentrating in Corporate Communication and minoring in Politics and History. I’m from Portland, Maine. My semester abroad was my first time to Europe, which was very exciting. I visited six other countries while I was there: London, England; Paris, France; Dublin, Ireland; Interlaken & Zurich, Switzerland; Athens & Mykonos, Greece and of course, all throughout Italy. I took four classes while in Florence, one being photography, which is something I really enjoy. I spent my semester embracing the beauty and culture of Italy and the rest of Europe. I definitely took over 5,000 pictures. I’ve done two other study abroad trips through my home institution. They were both two week faculty led trips. One was to Cuba in January of 2017, and the other to Mexico in January of 2018. Both trips focused on the politics, history and culture of the given country, and the trips also allowed me to pick up my minor. I’m currently in the lead for most study abroad programs at my home school. I’m planning to go on the trip next January to Argentina.
