Another Unexpected Detour 06/05/14
Can I just begin with the fact that my mind is exploding at the fact that this trip is already over halfway over? I honestly can’t (and really don’t want to) believe it. There are just so many things to do and places to see and people to meet still! I just feel like I’m […]

When in Rome 03/10/14
This past weekend was one of the best weekends I have had here in Italy. From local restaurants to street kebabs, and karaoke to packed bars, so many great memories were made. Our travel break this weekend was from Thursday to Sunday. We left for Rome on Wednesday night and arrived at about 11pm. Our […]

Plenty of Cooking, Culture, and Community 11/12/13
There’s nothing like catching up after a week away, and that’s what this week has been all about. A lot of my time was spent going to class, doing homework, attending LEAP seminars, and studying for midterms, but we also had time to have some fun as well. One evening this week we had the […]

An Italian secret 09/25/13
“I am spending my semester in Italy.” Words I have said one too many times. Time after time, I would explain to people my choice, then a conversation of people’s expectations and perceptions would soon follow. The most common statement goes along the lines of how every meal I consume would consist of pizza hand […]

Awkward Mall Moments and Bearded Biker Gangs in Bassano 01/31/13
After my first week in Italy, I feel like I am in a completely different world. It’s funny how different my expectations were from what things are actually like here. But like I said in my last blog, I didn’t really have any clue what to expect in the first place. My European journey all […]

All in a days work 01/28/13
Ciao, Back again here to tell everyone about the great experience I had in the little town of Crespano, just a brisk walk from the Paderno campus. Crespano is just fifteen minutes west of campus on a well-established road, so there are sidewalks that we Americans are used to and not the single file walking […]

A Great Ball of Fire 11/19/12
Salve! Sunday, I attended my first European futbol match. I figured with only two weeks left, it was something that definitely needed to be checked off my cultural to-do list. I have never been a huge soccer fan, so I was definitely there to focus on experiencing the culture of the game. The game was […]

Vino Rosso o Vino Bianco? 11/19/12
Wine is a big part of the Italian culture, as most people know, but I had no clue how in depth the wine world really is. Fortunately, I got to experience this firsthand with two activities I did this past week—a vineyard tour and a wine seminar. Last Sunday a group of us visited local […]

A True Italian Experience 10/26/12
Salve! So this week I got to do something really neat, which was to go eat with an Italian family. I’m not going to lie, I was a little nervous but I had another CIMBA student Tanner by my side. We were assigned to go with this kid named Mattia and all we were told […]
