It's Like a Dream 12/20/12

Hello from America! I have been home for two weeks now and I have been trying to think of something to write for my final post. Nothing has really come to mind yet and I think that is due to the fact that I am having trouble admitting to myself that this semester is officially over. This […]

Strangers Are Just Family You Have Yet to Come to Know 11/28/12

Salve We started off this adventure three months ago as complete strangers. Just a random group of college students from all over the United States, with seemingly nothing more in common than the desire to study in Italy. However, now I can confidently say that we are family. This was never more prevalent than it was Monday […]

Don't Count the Days, Make the Days Count. 11/21/12

Salve! Making every last moment count has definitely been a common theme here at CIMBA this past week. Our time is shortly coming to an end with less than two weeks left and everyone is making every moment together the best one ever, whether it be just hanging out together in the dorms or when […]

A Great Ball of Fire 11/19/12

Salve! Sunday, I attended my first European futbol match. I figured with only two weeks left, it was something that definitely needed to be checked off my cultural to-do list. I have never been a huge soccer fan, so I was definitely there to focus on experiencing the culture of the game. The game was […]

A True Italian Experience 10/26/12

Why Live On The Edge When You Can Jump Off It? 10/18/12

Salve ! This past week was one of the craziest of my life! We had ten whole days to travel anywhere our hearts desired in Europe and my friends and I headed off to the French Riviera, Paris, and Interlaken. Now, I loved seeing the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre in Paris, but my favorite […]

Rain Rain Go Away 10/04/12

Salve! This weekend I adventured off to Verona and I wouldn’t say that I had the best of luck when it came to this trip.  Saturday morning, we woke up in this charming little bed & breakfast that we were staying at, called B&B Villa dei Pini, and were greeted by a plate of homemade […]

I Took the One Less Traveled by, and That has Made All the Difference. 09/28/12

Salve! The title of this post is a quote from Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken and this idea definitely applied to my weekend. My friends and I hopped on a train and traveled to Florence, Italy. People always say that you need to thoroughly plan your vacations or you will just be wandering […]
