About this blog

Soon I will be living in Florence, Italy both traveling and studying architecture. About 30 other students and myself will be studying various subjects at the Institute at Palazzo Rucellai.

I hope to learn all that there is to know about Italian Architecture and Culture. However, more importantly, my hopes of understanding surpass those of academic standing, the hopes of developing more intricate views and outlooks on life as well as myself.

"Travel breaks down a kind of inner structure we have. Stripped of our props, deprived of our masks, we are completely on the surface of ourselves."

As I venture into this new life, join me on my travels and always remember...

with each step I take with my foot, I carry you with me in my heart
