Post CIMBA- Invaluable Experience 01/03/15
Hello! Ciao! This is Mia back in the USA and my CIMBA life is totally over with this last blog. Looking back at the last semester, so many things remain giving me lots of memories and experiences. I really wanted to put all of them in these blogs but those experiences were difficult to express in words. […]

Parting is such sweet sorrow… 01/01/15
I traveled to 6 different countries (seven if you count Vatican City) and explored 26 new places over 3 months. At the end of my three months in Italy with CIMBA, I had really mixed feelings about going home to the U.S. On one hand, I couldn’t wait to see my mom and spend Christmas with my family. […]

My Story through Scarves 12/31/14
Ever since our first trip to Cinque Terre I have been purchasing scarves that represent my experience in the city. Looking at them all lying across the ground I saw far more than fabric, I see a journey that has come to an end externally but just begun internally. It was really strange to look […]

Home is where the heart is. 12/31/14
As myself and a few other CIMBians made our last trip of the semester to the Venice Marco Polo Airport together, it felt like any other weekend adventure. I didn’t truly grasp that I wouldn’t be arriving back on campus in Paderno del Grappa anytime soon until I was going through customs back in the […]

My list trip in Italy – Venetia 12/19/14
Ciao My plan during the semester was to travel to most of the cities in Italy. After spending 12 weeks in Italy, I almost reached my goal. Reflecting on these journeys, I saw the very southern part, beaches, capital cities, fashion, mid parts, and others. However, there is one last mission for me, VENETIA!!! Venetia… It was also one of my dreaming […]

The final week… 12/16/14
The past three months are coming to an end, and I never thought that this last week would come so quickly. We just had our last gourmet dinner and danced our night away among one another. It was a nice, relaxing, and fun way to end the semester with a bang. Toasts were shared, memories […]

Never had I ever traveled to Austria… 12/15/14
…but the first time I went to Austria, it was so great that I returned for a second time later that week! In my second to last weekend in Italy, a bunch of CIMBians and I went to Innsbruck, a little ski town in southern Austria, where I had the most magical moment of my young […]

Prahahaha! The Prague Blog 12/12/14
Never on my experience studying abroad did I think that I would visit the Czech Republic- I am so glad I did. The sunshine crew (Lindsey, Taylor, and my new given nickname) was back in action. We traveled Saturday morning to Prague and let me tell you it was definitely Fall. Near the end of […]

Nine days of travel, three countries, countless memories. 12/11/14
With the arrival of the travel week, we were officially half way through the semester, even though it felt like I just stepped foot in PdG days ago. Although I’ve been traveling throughout my time here, for some reason it felt odd to me that I wouldn’t be in class for a total of nine […]

Thinking Thankfully 12/03/14
Days before the end of my semester abroad, I’m reflecting on my experiences and it’s hard for me to believe that there was a time in my life when I didn’t think this would be possible. Two years ago, today actually, my mom and I lost my dad. Soon after that there was a time […]
