What sold you on Florence?
There wasn’t one thing, I think it was a collection, the city sells itself. But the Global Experince programme I came with really helped.
Has it lived up to your expectations?
Of course where else is it compulsory to be late!!Seriously it has though the people, the city, the language its all TOP!!

I think the last good one was Alexander, although looking for hidden sexual references in Disney films brings a whole new meaning to Aladdin!!
