Abstract

The goal of this creative project is to better prepare hospitality student for studying abroad in Florence, Italy. Studying abroad can be a daunting class, but there’s so many benefits from doing it. For example, you learn a lot about yourself and others around you. It better prepares you for after college because it teaches you life lessons like becoming more aware of the world around you. It also sets you apart from others when you start to apply for internships or jobs, because it shows the companies that you are independent and culturally diverse.

The results that I gathered are from when I studied abroad in Florence. While I was there, I gathered information about the things that I liked to do and see. I compiled all this information together to make a tour guide for other students to be able to become more prepared for their trip.

In addition, this guide can provide an example for other hospitality students to create their own travel guide to another major city, like Rome or Milan.
