Amanda Vojvodin
Amanda is a Canadian who first moved to Europe in 2012 to study in Grenoble, France. There she was selected to be an ambassador to Canada as part of the Rhone-Alpes Jeunes Ambassadeurs program. She continued her studies in Milan at Cattolica University before deciding to move there permanently following the completion of her master’s thesis at SDA Bocconi University in 2015.
Amanda loves sharing her firsthand experiences as an expat living in Italy through her Instagram and YouTube Channels, La Vita è Style. She recently became a Mom to Leonardo and loves spending time with him and her husband Michelangelo, exploring Milan and discovering new things in Italy. They split their time between Milan and Canada and spend their summers in Puglia – a part of Italy that’s close to their heart. Amanda has been keen on sharing her love for all things arts, culture and history with new people since having the privilege to be one of the 40 Canadians selected to work as a tour guide at the Parliament of Canada from 2010 to 2014. She currently works as a marketing and events manager in the fashion industry in Milan and joined the AIFS team in 2022. She is excited to share her love for Milan with future students and to ensure they live an authentic Milanese experience!

Social identity & access
One of the best things you can do before departure is enter into the journey knowing that your time abroad will be unique to this experience. The resources, community, and support available to you when abroad will likely be different as well. In order to help you prepare for your experience, we have compiled many resources about social identity and access in specific locations abroad. Your program staff will also provide you with more details pre-departure and during orientation.
