Roma! 06/11/14
The Eternal City is one of the most accurate nicknames for Rome that I could think of. There are (and were) way too many things to fit into a 3-day weekend, but rest assured, we tried our best. Now, I’m going to spare you all the gritty, sweaty details (it was like 90 degrees all […]

Ending with a BANG in Roma! 06/10/14
Although I have only been in Italy for a mere three weeks, it seems like a year. You are planning, laughing, and exploring with people you did not know a month ago. It is crazy! My final weekend in Roma was just that. Ending with the beautiful capital of Italy was just the cherry on […]

The Roman Finale 06/10/14
If you ever have the privilege and pleasure of traveling to Rome, don’t try to do it in a weekend. You will not be able to see everything you should and you’ll kick yourself for rushing through trying to get to everything. The Vatican and Coliseum tours will take an entire afternoon, and with the […]

Moral of the story: Just do it! 06/09/14
Here, there and everywhere! I have been so busy talking about my exciting weekends, I forgot to mention how amazing simple week nights can be. I remember my first afternoon that I had “free” when I was in Italy. A group of friends and I had a few hours to study and finish our homework […]

Another Unexpected Detour 06/05/14
Can I just begin with the fact that my mind is exploding at the fact that this trip is already over halfway over? I honestly can’t (and really don’t want to) believe it. There are just so many things to do and places to see and people to meet still! I just feel like I’m […]

The Firenze Weekend that Almost Wasn't 06/03/14
The best part of my weekend in Florence was that it actually took place. A day and a half before the travel weekend officially began, I was still scrambling to find out how to get there and where I was going to stay. If anyone ever tells you that it is fun to wing it […]

Ocean, pool, balcony, Italy 06/03/14
Frustration. My immediate response when I found out our flight to Nice, France has been cancelled due to strikes by the corporate airlines. After hours of planning and deciding where we wanted to go, a simple email ruined all of our plans. It was Thursday morning. We had approximately four hours to create an entirely […]

First Impressions/Cinque Terre 06/03/14
*Note: WordPress can only handle photos that are 2 MB or under, and since the ones I took on my camera were far too powerful for it to handle (they’re all like 5 MB), none of the photos in this post are original, but they each are pretty similar to the ones I was planning […]

Two Adventures, One Weekend 05/31/14
So this past weekend, which was short (unfortunately) (but still awesome), my friends from my engineering class and I (11 of us total) decided to take a trip to Florence! When we arrived, we put our stuff away at the hostel because we were lucky/large enough to fill a room, so that we could lock […]

Florence has awakened me! 05/28/14
Scrambling throughout my dorm, I quickly throw some clothes in a bag and ran out the door (packing is not my strong suit). I made it just in time to catch the bus to the train station. I could feel my energy level rise as I realized it was my first independent travel weekend. After […]
