“Essenza”, or "essence" in English, is what I'm looking to invest in this Summer. Despite looking for something's essence sounds quite abstract, to me it means to pursue knowledge and experience in an unknown context. I want to understand the young adult culture in Europe and use that knowledge to expand my ability to adapt and spread messages of peace, positivity, and Love. To be a part of a mission, as a whole, that is much bigger than you and I.

My name is Isadora, I'm 21 years old, raised in Brazil, and currently live in Orlando, Florida. This coming Summer, I aim to spend 3 months studying in Italy, while documenting what it's like to live abroad for a semester. I have named this project #TheEssenzaProject. If you're reading this, consider yourself invited to be a part of my future. 

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, I'd love to chat on Instagram - @IsaSamadello - where I'll be documenting this process.

Just by reading this, you have already participated in this project more than you can imagine, and I'm beyond thankful for that. The next real step I'm taking is to reach the financial goal of $5,000.00 to make this idea a reality, and even though I believe it is possible, I can only do it with your help. Any amount you can contribute is a step closer to hitting the target. 

Thanks for being part of my journey, 

Isadora
