Saying Goodbye to Europe… 04/15/13
Just a few days ago, I had to say goodbye to some of the best people I have ever met. I am lucky to say that a good handful of the great people I met live within a drivable distance to see and visit, but there are a few who live many miles away. It […]

Czech This Out: Prague Week 10 04/01/13
As my study abroad experience comes close to the end, I have began to feel not only sad that I’ll be bored in Chicago soon, but I will miss seeing different parts of the world every weekend. Skyscrapers in Chi-city do not compare to some of the buildings and monuments I have laid my eyes […]

My Trip to Brussapestelona 03/20/13
After three academically challenging midterms, it was time for the second 10-day travel break of my study abroad experience. I was especially excited for this break because I was going to places that I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect, Brussels, Budapest, and Barcelona, or otherwise known as Brussapestelona. My first stop was Brussels, Belgium. […]

Fun, Fur, Food, Friends, Florence. 03/05/13
Although I am studying abroad in the wonderful country of Italy, I came to the realization that I have been focusing a lot of my travel time outside of Italy and haven’t planned as many trips in Italy that I would like. I love to travel to other countries but it is important to focus […]

Different Country, Different Culture 02/27/13
I can’t even begin to wrap my head around the fact that I am almost half way done with my study abroad experience. There are so many things that I have experienced and seen, and there is still so much more to explore. This past weekend, I went to Interlaken, Switzerland and it was one […]

Breathe it in, Live it Up 02/21/13
Words on a piece of (computer) paper are not nearly meaningful enough to describe what it was like to travel all around Europe in less than ten days. My body is exhausted from all the walking and traveling, but it was worth every step. I could write for days to tell you what I did […]

Feeling AND Being on Top of the World 02/06/13
This week was probably one of the most fast paced weeks since I have been studying here at Cimba. It’s so fascinating that in such a small town like Paderno Del Grappa, there are many surrounding towns that make this part of the Veneto region so beautiful. This week I visited a beautiful town called […]

Wine and Verona and Everything in Between 01/28/13
Back in the United States, a week of school drags on and feels like a month. But here in Italy, they fly by in a blink of an eye. I know it is only the second week, but I already fear my emotions when I leave here. People have gotten so close in such a […]

First Week in the Beautiful Town of Paderno Del Grappa 01/21/13
Arriving in Paderno was hectic yet exciting. We brought our luggage to our room and then proceeded to orientations and dinner. It’s nice that there is about 37 Iowa kids here so we have a pretty good group to start but I am meeting someone new every day. It’s like freshman year all over again […]
