So I'm sitting in my bed on the night before I leave for Italy, and I am trying to come up with a name for my Blogspot.  Various catchy Italian phrases had entered my mind, but unfortunately they were all already taken.  Cool enough, my Grandma Joan just happened to text me at that moment, saying "Vai Con Dio," translating to "Go With God."

So of course it was clear at that moment.  I had found my blog name, and although Vai Con Dio was already taken, I got creative and inserted an additional letter "I" in there.  You know, I made it work.

This blog will record my travels throughout the next three and a half months! I am studying in Florence, Italy through the TCU study abroad program and will be country hopping during the weekends.

My friends and I plan to live this semester to the fullest, learn a lot, get lost, and most importantly, go with God.
