School: University of Saint Thomas | AIFS Program: Rome, Italy, Spring 2018 / 2019 | Biography: Ciao! My name is Caleb, and I am an International Business major at the University of Saint Thomas, in Minnesota. I studied abroad twice with AIFS, once in Spring 2018 and again in Spring 2019, both times in Rome, Italy! Each time brought new and incredible experiences and friends, both from around the country, and the world! During my most recent semester I was afforded the incredible opportunity to intern at the Embassy of the Republic of Malta to Italy! During my internship I attended meetings at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations as a representative of Malta and even met the president of Malta! I also enjoyed travelling around Europe, and discovered the exciting adventure that is travelling with only a backpack! My favorite part of studying abroad was learning how to adapt to and learn about new cultures, languages and currencies, all while immersing myself in all that was new around me. Each semester spent in Rome increased my love of the city, confidence in myself and desire to explore! I look forward to helping other students achieve their study abroad dream! “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” ~ T. S. Eliot
