Ciao a tutti dalla Sicilia!! My name is Mia Naomi, I am a Santa Barbara girl born and raised, a biology major transferring to UCSB this fall 2025, an avid swimmer and lover of the outdoors and today I will be sharing with you my time so far in Sicily Italy!!

Florence is one of those cities where you don't just walk, you wander. You don't just eat, you savor. You don't just see, you feel. The moment when the golden light bouncing off centuries-old buildings, the scent of fresh espresso and the sound of "grazie mille" from the Italian guy a few streets away creates a unique experience as a tourist.
