All along I enjoyed student life at the local Babilonia Language School in Taormina. After week 1 I relocated to Milazzo where I joined another language school, Laboratorio Linguistico. Together with 4 other language students and 2 language teachers I embarked on a one week sailing trip through the gorgeous Eolian Islands. This was my first sailing trip and a true adventure.

Then I had a few more days left and explored local gems like Milazzo, Cefalu, Catania and small villages in the beautiful interior of Sicily.
