Welcome

Hello, my name is Nicole Pexa and I have just finished my last semester of college in Rome, Italy. My experience while being abroad has been spectacular, and if you are interested in learning more about why I chose Italy, my experiences in other countries, or any blog posts I have written for my program provider SAI please explore this website.

Coming Abroad

I wouldn't say I led the most adventurous lifestyle before coming to Rome, Italy to live for three and a half months. Living in another country has been an amazing experience that I think has changed me for the better. Below are things that were once true, but after my study abroad experience I am happy to say that they no longer are.

  1. I have never had my own apartment.
  2. I have never traveled alone.
  3. I have never been outside of North America before.
  4. I have never spoken Italian.

I have become more confident and independent because of this experience, and I am looking forward to having more experiences in the future that continue to change me for the better!
