Meet Mae G.

"I am so grateful for the experience I had in Rome. Everything that could be organized and created into an approachable process was. Signing up for classes, getting my permit to stay, and finding a place to stay were never done alone. We also went to Florence and the Amalfi Coast – both trips had fun activities and hotels in great locations."
