Home is where the heart is. 12/31/14
As myself and a few other CIMBians made our last trip of the semester to the Venice Marco Polo Airport together, it felt like any other weekend adventure. I didn’t truly grasp that I wouldn’t be arriving back on campus in Paderno del Grappa anytime soon until I was going through customs back in the […]

The final week… 12/16/14
The past three months are coming to an end, and I never thought that this last week would come so quickly. We just had our last gourmet dinner and danced our night away among one another. It was a nice, relaxing, and fun way to end the semester with a bang. Toasts were shared, memories […]

(Un)Knowingly Loving It 12/16/14
As I finalized the paperwork that would send me to Italy, what I did know is that I would absolutely love traveling around Europe and experiencing the many different cultures that this experience has to offer me. What I didn’t know is that I would make some of the best friends and that I would […]

Czeckin’ out Prague 12/11/14
I remember planning out the trips I’d be taking with my dad before I officially started school at CIMBA. We had many options, yet Prague did not make the final cut. So when the ladies — Kayla and Sam — and I found cheap(ish) flights to and from Prague, I was beyond excited. I have […]

Nine days of travel, three countries, countless memories. 12/11/14
With the arrival of the travel week, we were officially half way through the semester, even though it felt like I just stepped foot in PdG days ago. Although I’ve been traveling throughout my time here, for some reason it felt odd to me that I wouldn’t be in class for a total of nine […]

Florence, Firenze, My Favorite Italian City 12/05/14
I had been to Florence in 2009 with my family and I absolutely loved it. I remember running through the Piazza della Signoria on the way to grab a last minute charm for my charm bracelet. I remember posing for family pictures in front of Ponte Vecchio. I remember strolling through the San Lorenzo leather market […]

Chocolate, cheese, and mountain tops. 11/26/14
Destination: Zurich, Switzerland. Finally, the week was over and my travel group, Kayla and Sam, were heading to a new country. I got on the plane prepared to study for my unfortunately timed Monday -afternoon test. It was because of this test that I wasn’t feeling like the week had particularly ended and that the […]

Taking it easy in Verona! 11/05/14
This past weekend was all about relaxation. My travel buddies and I decided that we wanted to stray away from the busy weekend routine we have all become so accustomed to. This routine follows one basic rule… you’re always catching some form of transportation, whether it’s a plane, train, or automobile. See what I did there? […]

A can of beans… 10/29/14
I’ve been learning a lot here at CIMBA, it’s that whole “study” part of study abroad coming into play. I want to talk about what I’ve specifically learned from my finance professor… other than finance. I like my finance professor because she understands that we are here both to learn and to travel. Some of […]

Oktoberfest — the learning experience. 10/22/14
Prior to coming to CIMBA, we were told not to plan any traveling in advance to avoid costly travel changes and the fear of missing out. Although this was frustrating, I knew it was all for good reasoning and I did follow the advice… except for Oktoberfest. I made up my mind that I would be […]
