Solo Traveling Post-CIMBA 07/01/22
After I turned in my last final, packed up my CIMBA dorm room, and said goodbye to all the friends I made during the past month, I was hit with the realization that I was now on my own. My flight home was set for a week after the program ended, and I had absolutely […]

How to Plan a Weekend When You Don’t Want to Make Any Plans 03/21/16
After spring break, I’m not gonna lie, I was dragging a little. Having prepared for this reaction, I had thought to stay the weekend in sleepy Paderno del Grappa.

Cinque Terre: My Favorite Place in Italy 04/06/15
Every place I go somehow manages to become my new favorite. Ever since I first stumbled upon photos of colorful houses clinging to cliffs, I have dreamt of visiting the “five lands” of Cinque Terre. The five villages are precariously perched along the rocky coastline of Liguria, Italy. I’m over two months into my travels and I’ve […]

Frustration. My immediate response when I found out our flight to Nice, France has been cancelled due to strikes by the corporate airlines. After hours of planning and deciding where we wanted to go, a simple email ruined all of our plans. It was Thursday morning. We had approximately four hours to create an entirely […]

A Wild Week: LEAP, USA vs. Italy Soccer Match, and the Serene Cinque Terre! 04/03/14
“USA! USA! USA!” It felt as if I was in the middle of a World Cup match. The Italian vs. American friendly soccer match was one of the most exciting events I have attended and it showed that even after a week-long excursion traveling across Europe, CIMBA finds a way to make a regular week […]

Mi Amore, Cinque Terre 02/25/14
