Living Abroad Week 1: Is the First Week Stressful? 02/01/16
Jet lag is real. I have never experienced jet lag in my life (also haven’t traveled overseas either), but I sure do feel the 7 hour time change! Then, as soon as I land in my new home country, it’s like BAM! Go to all my classes, plan travel trips for next weekend, socialize with new […]

How to Make CIMBA Your New Home 09/23/15
Any transition is hard, but going from a Nomad traveling across Europe to being a student takes it to a completely new level. Even with my advantage of being used to the time zone, I still had my hiccups. However, the first week I’ve been here has been an excellent start to the pace of […]

Adrenaline Rush 03/06/15
“The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail. Travel too fast and you miss all that you are traveling for.” —Louis L’Amour These wise words were engrained in my mind as I persevered to the peak of Mount Grappa. Early Saturday morning, my global economics professor kindly offered to drive me to the base of Mount Grappa. I […]

Cabs and trains and buses, oh my! 03/04/15
As I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, we traveled frequently in the three months we lived in Italy and loved every minute. But it’s worth mentioning how different travel is for a study abroad student in Europe in comparison to travelling in the United States. Don’t worry, I’ll also provide some helpful advice to those […]

The French Riviera: From Nice to Monaco 03/03/15
My travels led me to Nice, France this past weekend. Let me begin by saying that Nice is more than nice. The French Riviera is gorgeous, enchanting, and glamorous altogether. This scenic region attracts rich tourists from all over the world, so as a poor college student I figured why not experience this area myself! […]

IQ, EQ, and what I really brought back from Italy 03/01/15
I’ve been back in the U.S. for almost 3 months now (wow, that was hard to say) and in that time I’ve already seen the benefits of my study abroad experience at work. Not only do I have great stories to tell my friends, I have awesome examples to use for interviews, which I have […]

Ciao! Today, I will introduce CIMBA FALL 2014’s second gourmet dinner. Last time, the dinner was held in a nice Italian garden that provided us a full-course, formal dinner. This time the supper was held in a hotel. Even though both are formal dinners, the style was slightly different. This dinner had an appetizer time outdoor (but […]
