I have to be honest. During my last week abroad with CIMBA I was craving a butter burger from Culver’s.

I am not a well-traveled person. My family or school planned, booked, and paid for all the trips I've been on. And, growing up, my family mostly opted to travel by car so I can count how many times I’ve been on a plane with my hands. It’s safe to say that planning for the weekend trips during CIMBA was way out of my comfort zone.

When I think of an organized person, the first character that comes to mind is definitely not myself. One thing I knew, however, when I first applied and was accepted to the CIMBA Study Abroad Program, was that I wanted to be prepared for the trip as best as I could.
