Ciao, sono Hannah. 12/11/19

Hello everyone, it’s Hannah and I am back with another blog to talk to you guys about CIMBA classes. Coming over the campus, I was not entirely sure how classes were going to go. With the semester only being 12 weeks long, it thought it would be crazy to fit 16 weeks of material in […]

Add a Seat! 11/01/19

This has been my favorite CIMBA activity thus far. Since we share the campus with a local boarding school, we are able to meet students and learn some Italian. One of the events that brings us closer is Add a Seat. This event involves one of those Italian students and their family signing up to […]

Living like a Local 10/30/17

Last Thursday, I had a truly Italian experience. My day started with a company tour of a well-known and highly successful pastry company in nearby Asolo called Forno d’Asolo.

This week, I had the opportunity to participate in CIMBA’s Add a Seat to the Table program. Add a Seat is organized by the CIMBA in conjunction with the Istituti Fillipin, the boarding school that shares a campus with CIMBA. Students from the Italian high school open their homes for an evening so we can get […]

Local Life in Italy & the Magic of the Adriatic 03/26/15

Another weekend, another country. I feel as though I have lived more out of a suitcase this month than out of my closet, and I’m perfectly okay with that! Traveling has transformed the way I look at the world, but some of my most memorable experiences abroad have come from the local living environment in Italy. This […]
