Italy is calling! 09/09/14
Okay- so here we go: my pre-departure blog. I am currently sitting at my family’s kitchen table in Florida just day dreaming of a place with the temperature below 90 degrees. My biggest dilemma in study away prep has been packing, well the procrastination that keeps getting in my way of packing. I am so […]

Destination: Europe 09/04/14
It’s finally here. Italy is finally here! Even now as I type it out it just doesn’t seem real, the realization that I will be studying abroad for three whole months across the world is just now becoming a reality. Excitement is an understatement. I suppose I should introduce myself… My name is Natalie Butler, […]

The Highlight Reel 07/09/14
Wow. That was an action packed month. It seems like only yesterday that I couldn’t believe it was actually starting, and now I’m shocked that it’s over. I think my favorite thing about this experience was really all of the people I met, both Italians and Americans. As cool as the sightseeing and tourist-ing was, […]

The Time of My Life 07/09/14
I saw things I’ll remember for the rest of my life on this trip. Watching the sunset from the Riomaggiore harbor, the vast beauty of the Duomo Cathedral in Florence, the stone walls of the Colloseum and the divine sight of the Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. I could go […]

That's a wrap 07/07/14
I’ve been home now for about 24 hours, and the only feeling I have is denial. The last six weeks have been an absolute whirlwind with little sleep, and I still cannot believe it actually happened. I went to Europe, something so many people have never had the opportunity to do. I still think I […]

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 […]
