The most common statement goes along the lines of how every meal I consume would consist of pizza hand […]

My First Week in Paderno 09/24/13

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 […]
