Road to Campus Drive talks about the project created during my international study experience in the United States, at the University of California Irvine. I come from Tuscany, Italy, and when I got in the US I started writing my blog as a kind of logbook. But after a while it actually turned into something else: many students from all over the world started to contact me through my Facebook page and my website, asking information of all kinds about being an international student. My blog became a point of reference, an informal and spontaneous place for their everyday problems, from doubts about how to complete the application form, to the rents, the procedures to buy a car and the places to visit on their weekends. Through this project, I met wonderful people and made contacts for future international UCI students, so that I was also appointed as a testimonial for the University. Now I'm moving from one place to another supported by the international friends I met during my studies. This video is aimed at the realization of my goal, which is to continue helping and encouraging students all around the world to travel, broaden their horizons and fill their lives with new people, different cultures and enriching experiences.
