An Unexpected Surprise, Finals Week, Paragliding and Saying Goodbye 04/09/14
As I sit here in my house in South Jersey, it still seems unreal that I will not be returning to my Italian dorm. Finals week sped by in a blur. Unlike a normal finals week where students remain cooped in their rooms or the library studying all day and night, this finals week was […]

A Wild Week: LEAP, USA vs. Italy Soccer Match, and the Serene Cinque Terre! 04/03/14
“USA! USA! USA!” It felt as if I was in the middle of a World Cup match. The Italian vs. American friendly soccer match was one of the most exciting events I have attended and it showed that even after a week-long excursion traveling across Europe, CIMBA finds a way to make a regular week […]

When in Rome… (Yes, please continue) 04/03/14
There was no question as to what country I wanted to go to when I decided to study abroad. I have grown up with proud Italian roots, I have spent the majority of my life in Catholic school, and the most of the meals cooked in my household are indeed, you guessed it: Italian. I […]

My Final Days At CIMBA 04/03/14
Last night, we had our third and final CIMBA gourmet dinner. Every semester, CIMBA schedules three gourmet dinners, and the students and staff dress up and eat a nice, authentic Italian meal. I attended all of the gourmet dinners they offered this semester and I can honestly say some of my favorite memories were made […]

Cinque Terre 04/03/14
For our last weekend here in Italy, for some of us anyway, we decided to make a trip out to Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre is on the coast of Italy and is made up of five villages: Monterosso, Vernazza, Cornigilia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. Since even before I had left for Italy, I was told by […]

Whew, am I tired! I have just returned from our travel week and after walking countless miles exploring the cities of London, Dublin, Brussels, and Amsterdam my body is begging for some well-deserved rest.

Ljubljana (Loo-bee-ya-na) 03/26/14
We decided to take a spontaneous trip to Slovenia this past weekend and it ended up being such a beautiful surprise. It was only a 3-hour ride through the Alps and Slovenian countryside until we arrived to the whimsical capital, Ljubljana. We began our first night with a 5-course Balkan dinner at a small, underground […]

Paris 03/26/14
This past week at CIMBA we had our week-long break. My friends and I decided we wanted to have a relaxing week, where we didn’t have to do a lot of walking around and sightseeing. We went to Paris, Madrid, Ibiza, and Barcelona. The only place we did any sightseeing was Paris, and I am […]

The Island of Malta 03/12/14
Adventures off the beaten path are often the most rewarding. On our last travel weekend, my friends and I decided to go to Sicily and Malta. I was really excited to go to Sicily because Dr. Al (the Director of CIMBA who is also my Law professor) has been telling my class great things about […]

Adventures in Madrid 03/12/14
When my friends told me they had booked Madrid for our first travel weekend, I was a little apprehensive. If I was going to Spain, I wanted to go to a city like Barcelona (which I am going to on an upcoming weekend.. Stay Tuned for a Blog!). It was a random destination, but I […]
