"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" 11/27/12
Only five (almost four) days remain until I leave to go home to America. I cannot believe it. Where did the past three months of my life go? I have only just begun to reflect on my time here and frankly, I don’t even know where to start. I have gone through so much and […]

Vino Rosso o Vino Bianco? 11/19/12
Wine is a big part of the Italian culture, as most people know, but I had no clue how in depth the wine world really is. Fortunately, I got to experience this firsthand with two activities I did this past week—a vineyard tour and a wine seminar. Last Sunday a group of us visited local […]

A Week in Food 11/12/12
One of the best parts by far about traveling through Europe is getting to taste different types of food—especially because little Paderno del Grappa has no variety in food. One of the top five reasons I love travel weeks is because we get to eat something other than pasta and red sauce. For my second […]

46 Days Later 10/25/12
“What is your favorite CIMBA memory?” the piece of paper said. A slideshow of photos of us played in the background, a sentimental tune to go along with it. You would have thought it was the end of the program, but in reality it’s a little more than halfway through. Hard to believe, but only […]

Playing with Prosciutto: Italian Pizza-Making 10/22/12
Earlier this week I participated in my first “Date with a Professor,” one of CIMBA’s many activities. Fifteen students, two professors and their wives and I had the opportunity to make our very own Italian-style pizzas at a pizzeria in Asolo. Before we could touch any ingredients, the pizzeria owner and pizza-making master walked us […]

Field Trip to Asolo 10/05/12
Today I had the pleasure of taking a field trip to nearby Asolo with my Italian for Travelers class. Asolo is a town about 10 minutes away from Paderno and is home to the CIMBA MBA campus. Our class of 22 took a bus there this morning and our Italian Professor gave us a tour […]

30 Hours, 5 Villages, 1 Amazing Weekend 09/28/12
I never would have thought a 30-hour weekend trip could be one of the best vacations of a lifetime. But our adventure to Cinque Terre this past weekend certainly was. Cinque Terre, literally translated as “five lands,” is located on the West Coast of Italy near the city of La Spezia and consists of […]

A Trip to Bassano 09/25/12
Last Thursday night we finally ventured out of our small abode that is Paderno. Up until that point, I had not been to any other part of Italy besides Venice, but that was only the airport. We were incredibly excited—half the students had already made the trip to Bassano del Grappa the first week while […]

Arrivederci Seattle, Ciao Paderno! 09/14/12
Ciao! It’s my seventh full day here in Paderno del Grappa and I am already loving it. After a full 24 hours worth of travel from Seattle to Venice on Sunday-Monday, I couldn’t have been happier to finally arrive on campus. Little did I know how quickly things were going to start—the second we got […]
