Suitcase zipped and ready to fly

Hello, or as they say in Italy, salve! I’m Lauren Sharp, a senior Strategic Communications major at Elon and like Caitlin and Jaclyn, I too will be sharing stories on this blog throughout our course abroad. I am absolutely thrilled for the opportunity to experience Italy, a country I have always dreamed of exploring. My personal goals are to soak up as much history and culture as possible, as well as to discover the country’s best pasta. I hope everyone has had a wonderful start to the new year and will enjoy following our journey.
