When in Rome… (Yes, please continue) 04/03/14

There was no question as to what country I wanted to go to when I decided to study abroad. I have grown up with proud Italian roots, I have spent the majority of my life in Catholic school, and the most of the meals cooked in my household are indeed, you guessed it: Italian. I […]

Ljubljana (Loo-bee-ya-na) 03/26/14

We decided to take a spontaneous trip to Slovenia this past weekend and it ended up being such a beautiful surprise. It was only a 3-hour ride through the Alps and Slovenian countryside until we arrived to the whimsical capital, Ljubljana. We began our first night with a 5-course Balkan dinner at a small, underground […]

Study Abroad Insights 03/07/14

I have spent a lot of time reflecting on the surprises, realizations and knowledge I’ve gained since I left home 9 weeks ago. I came to Europe with an extensive list of things to do and places to go and monuments to see, but I have realized that that is not what I will carry […]

Mi Amore, Cinque Terre 02/25/14

I have spent the past 6 weeks going to big cities and sightseeing; looking at all the historical architecture, art and churches that Europe has to offer. I have loved seeing the Eiffel Tower, canals of Venice, the statues in Florence… the list goes on and on. But my trip this past weekend was so different in […]

Big ol' Bolzano 02/24/14

I woke up bright and early at 4:45am Saturday morning, showered, packed my backpack, caught the 5:30am taxi and jumped on the train to Bolzano.  I slept during the 3 hour train ride, but I couldn’t help but to peek open my eyes every so often to see the skyscraping mountains fly past my window. […]

The Best of Paderno del Grappa 02/18/14

I have gotten so caught up with writing about my travels every weekend; I just came to the realization that I have not touched on my life here in Paderno del Grappa, and I am already at the halfway point this week. CIMBA has kept me so busy with so many programs, seminars and activities […]

Florence, Italy 02/04/14

Last weekend we all went on a bus to Florence, which is only about a 3-hour drive from Paderno. We got there at about 9pm on Friday and dropped our bags at our hostel, which was right next to the Duomo. Florence was a lot livelier at night than Venice was. We walked around the […]

A Wet Weekend in Venice 01/24/14

My first week of school at CIMBA was so exhausting/busy/exciting. I had my first classes (my teachers are all amazing!) and some business seminars to go along with it. After having a rough schedule all week (I even had class on Saturday) a group of us decided to go spend one night in Venice. Since […]

London to Venice 01/24/14

After a long 8-hour flight, my first taste of airplane food, and a lot of sleep deprivation, I finally made it to London! My boyfriend Scott, his mom and sister and I got to London January 7th. We landed in London Wednesday afternoon and took a nice long nap to try and cure our jetlag. […]
