I see London, I see France….I also see Ireland 11/14/14
This past week was wonderful insanity- also known as travel week! There were five of us to start and we slowly dwindled to 3. The luck of the Irish to start. We landed in Dublin midafternoon on Saturday leaving school work and our cares behind (everything is true but for that second part). We were […]

Hop on Hop off 11/05/14
Add a Seat was definitely one of my favorite experiences. McKenzie and I were grouped together to eat dinner with an Italian student and their family. We really didn’t know what to anticipate, other than wonderful food. As the entire “Add a Seat” group walked outside we discussed our hopes of what this dinner would […]

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? […]

Oktoberfest, Ein Prosit (I Salute You) 10/29/14
The most magnificent mountain faces consumed the sky as it turned to a ripe shade of peach. Some mountains nursed little towns at their feet that appeared as flickering moats of streetlights and red roof tiles. These mountains led our bus through northern Italy and into Germany; we were on our way to Oktoberfest. For most […]

Forever a Tourist 10/29/14
It’s about time that we went to Venice, don’t you think? It required a short and simple train ride. I heard some conflicting reviews about Venice, so I went in with an open attitude. My consensus is….it’s average. I know, a little disappointing. I think if you are ever residing close to Venice you should […]

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 […]

2nd Gourmet Dinner 10/28/14
Ciao! Today, I will introduce CIMBA FALL 2014’s second gourmet dinner. Last time, the dinner was held in a nice Italian garden that provided us a full-course, formal dinner. This time the supper was held in a hotel. Even though both are formal dinners, the style was slightly different. This dinner had an appetizer time outdoor (but […]

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 […]
