Hello,
As summer has arrived so has a new class of UDM SACD students to Volterra. One of these students just so happens to be me, Tamzid Jaigirdar. I will be writing the blog posts for the Volterra class of 2022 and I look forward to sharing our experiences this summer. Stay posted for more posts in the immediate future. Despite some hiccups, all students and faculty had made it safely. In addition to getting to town, many students had traveled to various other locations around Europe beforehand. From Barcelona, Paris, and even as far east as Poland, we explored a large swath of what Europe could offer. Below is a collection of multiple places that some of us have visited before arriving in Volterra. In my next post, I will dive deeper into our first week and initial experiences in Volterra.
Till I write again, Tamzid Jaigirdar
