Ciao Tutti (Hi Everyone)

I thought I would start my blog now for my upcoming trip to Italy. I feel that this will be a perfect place to hear about my experience abroad. As of now, many of you might already know that I was accepted into a fashion school in Florence, Italy. The school is called Polimoda International Institute of Fashion Design and Marketing! Check it out at www.polimoda.com if you want to learn more.


I will be living in Florence or Firenze... for 10 months and at the end of that time, I will be receiving my masters in Luxury Mangagement.

I would love to hear from all of you! My email address is sreuben3@gmail.com


Baci, Sarah
