A story of centuries-old traditions, local ingredients, and a culture that knows how to savor every moment. For our students, making and enjoying pizza in Italy is more than a culinary experience; it's about connecting with the heart of Italian culture, understanding the importance of community, and of course, indulging in some of the best flavors the world has to offer. Where’s the most memorable place you’ve ever shared a meal? 🍽️ #carpediemeducation #carpegapyear #gapyear #travel #getoutside #gap #studenttravel #studyabroad #servicelearning #worldtravel #italy #greece

Standing in front of an ancient artifact, it’s easy to feel a connection to the countless lives that came before us. Our students have the chance to explore museums that are more than just collections of objects—they are gateways to understanding the stories, beliefs, and innovations that have shaped our world. This is where history comes alive, where learning transcends the classroom, and where every glance at an ancient relic deepens your appreciation for the cultures that have defined human existence.

Cooking together is about more than just making a meal; it’s about creating connections. On every semester, food becomes a universal language that brings everyone to the table—students, hosts, and new friends alike. As we learn to prepare local dishes, we’re not just tasting new flavors; we’re diving deep into the heart of the culture, understanding the traditions, and sharing stories over the stove. There’s something special about gathering fresh ingredients from the market, learning age-old recipes, and then sitting down to enjoy the fruits of our labor. 🍝🍲 #carpediem #carpegapyear #gapyear #travel #studyabroad #college #gapyearlife #gaplife #internationaleducation #getoutside #exchangestudent
