30 Captions For Studying Abroad In Florence That'll Steal A Pizza Your Heart

Here's the thing about traveling the world: It changes you in the best of ways. It opens up your heart and mind to new people, places, and experiences — and makes you fall in love with the littlest things like passports stamps, perfectly-scooped gelato, and rays of sunshine covering the Duomo at golden hour. Are you ready for that? Of course! Your wanderlust is bugging you now more than ever before. You're excited to catch your flight, and already heading to the gate. Do yourself a favor and have some Instagram captions for studying abroad in Florence on hand, because a new adventure is right around the corner.

Take it from me, the girl who's been there and done that, that you'll find yourself talking about the time you and your best friend ate pizza along the Ponte Vecchio months, and even years, after your time in Italy. You'll be looking back on pictures and videos on your phone from the best semester of college yet. You'll tell stories that someone who didn't study abroad won't understand, and refer to Florence as "home." (Sorry, mom. It's true!)

But, it's essential that you know what you need for spending four or five months in the most beautiful city in the world (in my personal opinion). First, you need to pack clothes for a couple of seasons in the biggest suitcase you can find — making sure that there's extra space for souvenirs. You also need a camera, an appetite for pasta and paninis, and a backpack for weekend trips around Europe.

Last but not least, you need at least 30 Instagram captions for studying abroad in Florence. Just putting the word "wanderlust" under your picture won't be enough to capture all the flights and feels from the best semester yet.
