Urbino has been a life changing experience for me. I've learned so much on terms of writing, reporting, and multimedia. Though what really has made me really enjoy the Urbino experience is the people of Urbino. Things like wine and food are wonderful here, but I have met so many interesting and friendly people here in Urbino. Despite myself not being able to speak Italian very well, I am still able to communicate with the people in Urbino and appreciate its diverse culture. I've learned that even if you don't know a language, you can still establish a relationship with them if you try to your best capabilities to communicate.
