It's a completely different experience to study abroad, especially in a city that isn't used to tourists. I'm so happy that we live outside of Florence- living in the city would be so overwhelming and living outside provides us the opportunity to go for walks, explore, and hang out in smaller bars and restaurants. However, the people in town are not used to seeing tourists, especially young Americans. Travel tip: when traveling around Italy while attempting to blend in and look as non-American as possible, do not pull a door towards you. There is no faster way to give yourself away... unless of course you're wearing a ciao bella t-shirt...
