Interlaken: A Weekend In the Swiss Alps 02/27/13
The week in Paderno had been a long one. Three tests, a paper, and multiple group projects. By the time my third and final class rolled around on Friday, I could no longer focus on complex isoquant curves and production functions. No. At that point the only thing on my mind was the Swiss Alps […]

Different Country, Different Culture 02/27/13
I can’t even begin to wrap my head around the fact that I am almost half way done with my study abroad experience. There are so many things that I have experienced and seen, and there is still so much more to explore. This past weekend, I went to Interlaken, Switzerland and it was one […]

A Weekend Away: Milano 02/26/13
Ciao! This weekend I traveled to Milan, one of the world’s fashion capitals. We arrived at the end of Milan’s Fashion Week 2013, and the city was draped in many large advertisements for numerous worldwide brands. Past the displays, I took a step back in history to experience the Piazza del Duomo, the city’s main […]

Trouble in Paradise 02/26/13
Ciao. After the first travel week I found the golden rule of traveling: never leave without knowing were you are sleeping. This came to bite my group in the butt many times during our travel break. First off was the first night in Venice: we could not find our hostel and did not have internet […]

Pizza Party 02/22/13
Ciao! This week I attended my first Date with a Professor with Professor Bunnell to a pizzeria in Asolo. Like a typical American, my idea of a pizzeria consisted of Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, and if I’m feeling creative, Papa Murphy’s. Sure, I’ve been to a few more authentic pizzerias, but when someone says pizza […]

Breathe it in, Live it Up 02/21/13
Words on a piece of (computer) paper are not nearly meaningful enough to describe what it was like to travel all around Europe in less than ten days. My body is exhausted from all the walking and traveling, but it was worth every step. I could write for days to tell you what I did […]

A Journey Through Central Europe: Travel Tips and Places to See 02/21/13
Our bus pulled into the Filippin Institute parking lot at 4 pm on Sunday and I couldn’t have been more relieved to be back in one piece and with the majority of the belongings I left with. Finally, our first week-long travel break had come to an end and we were back to the place […]

Feeling AND Being on Top of the World 02/06/13
This week was probably one of the most fast paced weeks since I have been studying here at Cimba. It’s so fascinating that in such a small town like Paderno Del Grappa, there are many surrounding towns that make this part of the Veneto region so beautiful. This week I visited a beautiful town called […]

Top of the World 02/05/13
Ciao, This past Sunday two friends and I decided to take on the 1700-meter mount Grappa, which towers in the background of the scenic campus. First I’ll give some background because the mountain is no ordinary pile of rocks. This mountain was the backdrop of many battles in both WWI and WWII. The most memorable […]

Venezia per il Carnevale! 02/05/13
When we left for Venice on Saturday it was cold and raining, just like it had been all day long. On top of that, we realized we had purchased the wrong bus tickets and were now going to pay for a cab to the train station. Once at the Venice train station, I accidentally found […]
