Thanks to my trip leader, Farah Korra, I was able to experience Italy in a totally different way, while still maintaining an affordable budget. This did not come at the cost of the quality of the trip as we were able to visit all the famous sights, stay in clean hostels and eat A LOT of delicious Italian food! Rome, Milan, and Lake Como were our destinations for this trip and I can tell that we didn't miss out on anything in each of these cities.
