Summary
Traveling every weekend across Europe may sound exciting, but it’s not always realistic—or sustainable. While living in Perugia, you have a unique opportunity that tourists don’t: to slow down, immerse yourself in daily Italian life, and discover the beauty of local experiences. Still, figuring out how to balance time, money, and the urge to explore can feel daunting. That’s why Paulina Allen, our SP25 work-study student, sat down with two fellow Umbra students and an Umbra staff member to share their best tips for traveling locally and making the most of your study abroad adventure—without breaking the bank. At the Umbra Institute, we support your journey with plenty of resources: from newsletters and workshops to day trips and activities that inspire mindful travel and deeper connections.
