It’s almost the start of my final week in the CIMBA program as I am making my way back from Switzerland. That being said, I simply cannot believe how quickly the semester has flown by. I knew when I came over to Italy that the time here would go by in the blink of an eye […]

More Wine than Water, More Churches than Houses, More Donkeys than People 02/19/15
It was the end of week 4 and on Friday afternoon there was an intense vibe in the air around campus as, all the Cimbians were working on their preparation for the first travel weekend, myself included.

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, […]

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 […]

The Highlight Reel 07/09/14
Wow. That was an action packed month. It seems like only yesterday that I couldn’t believe it was actually starting, and now I’m shocked that it’s over.

Roma! 06/11/14
The Eternal City is one of the most accurate nicknames for Rome that I could think of. There are (and were) way too many things to fit into a 3-day weekend, but rest assured, we tried our best. Now, I’m going to spare you all the gritty, sweaty details (it was like 90 degrees all […]

Another Unexpected Detour 06/05/14
Can I just begin with the fact that my mind is exploding at the fact that this trip is already over halfway over? I honestly can’t (and really don’t want to) believe it. There are just so many things to do and places to see and people to meet still! I just feel like I’m […]
