Saturday Hike on Mount Grappa 03/11/14
As the weekend approached, I became more and more thankful that I wasn’t obligated to pack a weekend’s worth of clothes and toiletries into my Osprey 46 backpack. This past weekend, my friends and I decided to stay back from all of the chaos of traveling and enjoy a short, quiet weekend in Paderno. We […]

What I don't miss about America 03/11/14
The first thing that comes to my mind when I think about what I don’t miss about America is pizza. Pizza has always been one of my favorite foods, but the pizza here is nothing like I have ever tasted before. No matter where I am in Italy, each bite of pizza leaves me wanting […]

Time Flies When You’re Having Fun! Mindfulness, Projects, Family, and Two Historic Italian Cities 03/11/14
And yet another week flies by at CIMBA. I cannot believe that we are already more than halfway through our semester. I know that I have said it before, but there is just so much happening on campus that, before you know it, you are leaving to travel on the weekend and thinking of everything […]

This past weekend was one of the best weekends I have had here in Italy. From local restaurants to street kebabs, and karaoke to packed bars, so many great memories were made. Our travel break this weekend was from Thursday to Sunday. We left for Rome on Wednesday night and arrived at about 11pm. Our […]

Study Abroad Insights 03/07/14
I have spent a lot of time reflecting on the surprises, realizations and knowledge I’ve gained since I left home 9 weeks ago. I came to Europe with an extensive list of things to do and places to go and monuments to see, but I have realized that that is not what I will carry […]

Keeping an Open Mind Abroad: An Unforgettable Cultural Experience in Istanbul, Turkey 03/05/14
From the record-time it took us to make it through the airport to board our plane as the gate was closing, to the plethora of beautiful mosques and important historical sights scattered throughout the city, to haggling in the Grand Bazaar with stubborn merchants, to traveling between continents in the same day, to some interesting […]

Mi Amore, Cinque Terre 02/25/14
I have spent the past 6 weeks going to big cities and sightseeing; looking at all the historical architecture, art and churches that Europe has to offer. I have loved seeing the Eiffel Tower, canals of Venice, the statues in Florence… the list goes on and on. But my trip this past weekend was so different in […]

Soaking it all in: EWAPs, Hiking Mt. Grappa, Company Visits, Carnevale, and MORE! 02/24/14

I still remember the first week, meeting all my new classmates, making sense of the hectic schedule, and frantically organizing travel plans. Now, it seems that we have known each other for a much longer time than 6 weeks, the first week schedule […]

Big ol' Bolzano 02/24/14
I woke up bright and early at 4:45am Saturday morning, showered, packed my backpack, caught the 5:30am taxi and jumped on the train to Bolzano. I slept during the 3 hour train ride, but I couldn’t help but to peek open my eyes every so often to see the skyscraping mountains fly past my window. […]
