Our odyssey:
from the world back home

We were once students seeking adventure abroad. Now, our mission is to share our insights, offer guidance, and turn your dreams of studying abroad into a reality.

More than a study abroad program

Our mission is not only to offer a simple study aborad experience. We want to give everybody the chance to become “Italian for a while”, a unique adventure into the most authentic Italian lifestyle.
