Things to do, Places to See. 02/09/15
Three weeks have gone by in the blink of an eye since my arrival here in Paderno and I am finding it difficult to wrap my head around this concept. In a way it feels as though I have been living here for much longer due to how comfortable and at home I feel, but, […]

Choosing CIMBA 02/04/15
I have always known studying abroad was something I was eager to do in college. I researched and expressed interest in a variety of countries but had yet to come across a program that felt quite right. Finally, I narrowed my scope to Italy but nearly every school offered programs residing in Rome, Venice, or […]

A Weekend in Firenze 02/04/15
I spent the past weekend in Florence—a city infused with history, art, and Italian culture. After a long day of classes, we boarded the bus at 5:30pm on Friday and had a three-hour drive to Prato. Upon arrival, nearly 60 CIMBA students scurried off the bus to take a train to the hostel in Florence. We wandered […]

A Day in the Life: Paderno del Grappa 02/03/15
The CIMBA campus is based in a small town called Paderno del Grappa in the Treviso region of Italy at a small Italian private school, Istituti Filippin. Located, as the name would suggest, at the base of Mt. Grappa, part of the Dolomites (foothills to the Alps), the students of CIMBA can enjoy a mountainous skyline from their […]

La Mia Nuova Casa 02/03/15
Greetings from Italy! The past week has been everything from hectic to exciting to breathtaking. After a tearful farewell to my parents and sympathetic smiles from strangers, I boarded the plane from Minneapolis. The timing could not have been better as I ran into other students in the program and we navigated our way to the […]

A New Home 02/03/15
WOW! What a week it has been. I want to take this time to give a brief overview of my first week here in Paderno. We arrived on Sunday and attended a campus tour immediately after. I was in love from the start! The view here is absolutely breathtaking. I couldn’t help snapping pictures every few […]

The first "Five Lands" 02/02/15
My first group trip with my fellow CIMBians after arriving in Italy in September was at the end of Week 2 as we celebrated our successful completions of LIFE and DaVinci Challenge (one of the most difficult weeks of my life). After intensely bonding through the challenge that is the first week and a half […]

Between Point A and Point B 02/02/15
My study abroad experience has been the most rewarding experience of my entire life, but in many ways it’s also been the most stressful (somehow I think these two things are related). For the past couple of months at CIMBA, I’ve traveled to a new place every single weekend, which has been a dream come true, […]

Veni, Vidi, Vici: How to survive Monte Grappa. 02/02/15
Veni, Vidi, Vici: How to survive Monte Grappa. For you non-Italian speakers, Veni, Vidi, Vici translates to: I came, I saw, I conquered. Conquered Mount Grappa that is. After an extensive week of acclimating to the time change and RA training here in Paderno, myself and the other three resident assistants finally had a minute […]
