Island Hopping in Malta 04/02/13
Last week we were on a 7 day trip through Brussels, Budapest, and Milan. While I had an awesome experience traveling, the weather had been very cold for the majority of the trip. It was hard to not get slightly jealous when I saw pictures of all my Virginia Tech friends in Jamaica and Key […]

The week in Paderno had been a long one. Three tests, a paper, and multiple group projects. By the time my third and final class rolled around on Friday, I could no longer focus on complex isoquant curves and production functions. No. At that point the only thing on my mind was the Swiss Alps […]

Awkward Mall Moments and Bearded Biker Gangs in Bassano 01/31/13
After my first week in Italy, I feel like I am in a completely different world. It’s funny how different my expectations were from what things are actually like here. But like I said in my last blog, I didn’t really have any clue what to expect in the first place. My European journey all […]

On the way to Italy 01/21/13
I can still remember the night I came back to my apartment with the CIMBA brochure in my hand. The program was recommended to me by a professor so I felt obligated to at least glance over it. I figured it would just be another cool idea that was never followed up on. But given […]
