One Obstacle for a Lifetime of Adventure! 05/24/24
Even in my hometown, I sometimes still get lost. Seriously, friends and family have a running joke about my lack of direction. Understandably, many were worried when I confidently told them I would be traveling solo on my way to Italy. With little experience in airports and three flights to manage, I was also feeling […]

A Spreadsheet – The Key to Preparing for Travel Abroad 05/24/24
When I think of an organized person, the first character that comes to mind is definitely not myself. One thing I knew, however, when I first applied and was accepted to the CIMBA Study Abroad Program, was that I wanted to be prepared for the trip as best as I could. I immediately […]

This is exactly how I feel now that my semester abroad has been officially over for an entire month. When finals were complete, saying […]

Sentimental 05/16/24
On Christmas Day, I always get a little bit sad that the season is ending. I adore all the music, decorations, food, and festivities Christmastime brings, and I am one of those people who never want it to end. The tradition of getting depressingly sentimental has been happening every year since around 2009 (when I […]

Best Food Ever! 04/12/24
Last week, my friends and I went to Bassano a couple of days ago and asked for a table at a restaurant. “We can get you a table,” the hostess responded. “But only for three hours. Is that okay?” Americans have no trouble eating quickly, so we nodded and sat down. But it got me […]

Blink and You’ll Miss It 04/06/24
The phrase “Time flies when you’re having fun” has never been more applicable in my life than it is regarding my semester abroad. With the semester winding down, each passing day is just a reminder that this whirlwind experience is almost over. It’s honestly difficult for me to fathom how much time I’ve already spent […]

Getting From A to B 03/26/24
I am going to miss so many things about Europe when I leave to go back to the States. I will be reminiscing on the memories I have made here for years to come, constantly picturing the sights, the cities, the art, and the nature I have gotten to experience. Surprisingly, Europe’s transportation is also […]

Souvenirs 03/22/24
When I was little, I was a bit of a hoarder. I took great pride in my button and quarter collections and would quickly grow quite attached to birthday cards, bracelets I had overgrown, and Happy Meal toys. On summer evenings, after hours of playing in the summer heat, I would dump the pockets of […]
