Introduction

Hi! My name is Stephanie Long and I am creating this travel blog to document my time studying abroad in Rome this summer. I am planning to graduate in 2016 with a double major in Biology and Psychology from the University of Arkansas. This blog will include, my pre-trip to Munich, Salzburg, Vienna, Venice, and Verona, then my month in Rome, and finally a week trip to London. I would love for future students to use this as a reference through the University of Arkansas's Study Abroad Office to plan their trip to study in Italy at the Rome Center. YOLO has been a popular phrase in our culture lately however, in this blog I'm going to convert it to YOGTRO (You only go to Rome once). I love to plan trips and it is important when planning a trip to Europe to experience everything as if you will never see it again. I have a little over a month to finish up all my preparations and will post my tips throughout (even during finals week)!
