Island Hopping in Malta 04/02/13
Last week we were on a 7 day trip through Brussels, Budapest, and Milan. While I had an awesome experience traveling, the weather had been very cold for the majority of the trip. It was hard to not get slightly jealous when I saw pictures of all my Virginia Tech friends in Jamaica and Key […]

Czech This Out: Prague Week 10 04/01/13
As my study abroad experience comes close to the end, I have began to feel not only sad that I’ll be bored in Chicago soon, but I will miss seeing different parts of the world every weekend. Skyscrapers in Chi-city do not compare to some of the buildings and monuments I have laid my eyes […]

A weekend full of hiking was exactly what I needed after a tough week of classes. I traveled to Cinque Terre (Five Lands), also known as “the place with all the colored buildings on the water,” along with 50 other CIMBA students for adventure.

My Trip to Brussapestelona 03/20/13
After three academically challenging midterms, it was time for the second 10-day travel break of my study abroad experience.

Ciao! This week I toured Ideal Work, an Italian company specializing in concrete finishing. As a leader in “decorative concrete,” Ideal Work has designed for homes, restaurants, clubs, theme parks, and hotels around the world.

Although I am studying abroad in the wonderful country of Italy, I came to the realization that I have been focusing a lot of my travel time outside of Italy and haven’t planned as many trips in Italy that I would like. I love to travel to other countries but it is important to focus […]
