Getting to go to Ischia is an experience I will be forever grateful for. I met so many amazing people and created life long friends. I saw beautiful places and got to explore the Italian culture in the best way. The community that the Italy abroad program creates gave me a sense of community which allowed me to take it all in to the fullest extent and feel comfortable exploring.

If you are able to go and stay in the beautiful ischia my advice is to say yes to absolutely everything. You will never be this young again in a foreign country getting to explore and learn everyday. Some of my favorite memories from the trip are when we got to go explore on our own!

Let’s meet Chimay & Nikki!

Hi everyone! Our names are Nikki and Chimay, and we were lucky enough to participate in not one, but two summer abroad programs with IAP- and the experience was truly life changing.

In 2024, we went on the Ischia trip and got to experience everything both the island and the Amalfi Coast had to offer, from cooking classes and boat tours to jumping into natural spas.

This past summer, we also traveled to Florence and got a taste of Italian city life. That trip was just as exciting, filled with company tours at Ducati and Lamborghini, amazing dinners, cooking classes, and so many unforgettable moments. These experiences really opened our eyes to how much the world has to offer.

We’re so grateful to our teachers, Dr. Devan Romero and Robert Aboolian, as well as Vince Amalfitano, for making these experiences possible.

The world is way too big to stay in one place, go out and see it.
