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 […]

Rome- My Favorite Italian City 02/25/15
I spent this past weekend in Rome with 14 other people. It was a great group and a GREAT weekend. Rome is my favorite city thus far! We flew in late on Friday and wanted to explore a little. We walked around Rome Friday night and made it to the Colosseum. If you ever go […]

(Positive) Culture Shock 02/10/15
While preparing to travel abroad, people always warned me about culture shock. They warned that I would feel out of place, uncomfortable and surprised by the way some things are done here. What they didn’t warn me about was positive culture shock. The phrase “culture shock” has adopted a negative connotation. However, after being here […]

Between Point A and Point B 02/02/15
My study abroad experience has been the most rewarding experience of my entire life, but in many ways it’s also been the most stressful (somehow I think these two things are related). For the past couple of months at CIMBA, I’ve traveled to a new place every single weekend, which has been a dream come true, […]

Around Italia in 10 Days 11/26/14
Part of the uniqueness of the CIMBA program is its emphasis on learning through experience, with which I wholeheartedly agree. In total, students get about 27 days of travel in a semester of only 89 days. That’s 30% travel time, which has been so great, but in reality each of us has been looking forward […]

Forever a Tourist 10/29/14
It’s about time that we went to Venice, don’t you think? It required a short and simple train ride. I heard some conflicting reviews about Venice, so I went in with an open attitude. My consensus is….it’s average. I know, a little disappointing. I think if you are ever residing close to Venice you should […]

Moral of the story: Just do it! 06/09/14
Here, there and everywhere! I have been so busy talking about my exciting weekends, I forgot to mention how amazing simple week nights can be. I remember my first afternoon that I had “free” when I was in Italy. A group of friends and I had a few hours to study and finish our homework […]
