Years coming 09/09/13
Throughout my life I have been fortunate. I have been able to dig my toes into the sand on the playa in Mexico, and see the manmade stars New York can make in their concrete jungle while on the roof of a skyscraper. I gained these memories by traveling most of the US and several […]

6 weeks and a lot of memories 07/08/13
People said 4 weeks would fly by before I knew it and they weren’t kidding! It felt like I had just unpacked and started classes when I started packing my bags again and started studying for finals. The things I was able to see and do during those four weeks are things I will never have the […]

38 Days Later.. 06/25/13
38 days later and I’m officially home. No, not all 38 days were spent in Italy, but they were spent traveling the world and making new memories. There were many homesick days and times when I became frustrated with not being able to communicate with people but at the same time I loved that I was dealing with that struggle. I […]

I’ve spent the past week reflecting on my time spent in Italy, and I can’t believe all the stuff I actually did! Before I go into that, let me tell you about my final weekend. […]

We just had our “CIMBA Prom” last night which is a formal dinner that all the students and staff attend to experience a full Italian meal. It was such a fun opportunity and one I definitely have never had before! We had a cocktail hour from about 8 to 9, brought inside and served appetizers, […]

Florence, Tuscany, and pasta making! 06/05/13
The past few days have been really busy, but completely amazing at the same time. This past weekend, I went to Florence with some friends. We got completely lost trying to find our hostel but after talking to the few people who knew enough English or were at least willing to point us in the […]
