A New Home 02/03/15
WOW! What a week it has been. I want to take this time to give a brief overview of my first week here in Paderno. We arrived on Sunday and attended a campus tour immediately after. I was in love from the start! The view here is absolutely breathtaking. I couldn’t help snapping pictures every few […]

The first "Five Lands" 02/02/15
My first group trip with my fellow CIMBians after arriving in Italy in September was at the end of Week 2 as we celebrated our successful completions of LIFE and DaVinci Challenge (one of the most difficult weeks of my life). After intensely bonding through the challenge that is the first week and a half […]

Between Point A and Point B 02/02/15
My study abroad experience has been the most rewarding experience of my entire life, but in many ways it’s also been the most stressful (somehow I think these two things are related). For the past couple of months at CIMBA, I’ve traveled to a new place every single weekend, which has been a dream come true, […]

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 […]

Wanderlust 01/06/15
I’m two weeks out from my first trip to Europe. Or 16 days, according to the countdown on my iPhone. Needless to say I am a little excited. Okay, a little is an understatement. I am stoked to begin this journey. When I arrived back at school this past semester, I had an itch. I couldn’t quite tell […]

Hello! Ciao! This is Mia back in the USA and my CIMBA life is totally over with this last blog. Looking back at the last semester, so many things remain giving me lots of memories and experiences.

Parting is such sweet sorrow… 01/01/15
I traveled to 6 different countries (seven if you count Vatican City) and explored 26 new places over 3 months. At the end of my three months in Italy with CIMBA, I had really mixed feelings about going home to the U.S. On one hand, I couldn’t wait to see my mom and spend Christmas with my family. […]

My Story through Scarves 12/31/14
Ever since our first trip to Cinque Terre I have been purchasing scarves that represent my experience in the city. Looking at them all lying across the ground I saw far more than fabric, I see a journey that has come to an end externally but just begun internally. It was really strange to look […]
