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 […]

The Firenze Weekend that Almost Wasn't 06/03/14
The best part of my weekend in Florence was that it actually took place. A day and a half before the travel weekend officially began, I was still scrambling to find out how to get there and where I was going to stay. If anyone ever tells you that it is fun to wing it […]

First Impressions/Cinque Terre 06/03/14
*Note: WordPress can only handle photos that are 2 MB or under, and since the ones I took on my camera were far too powerful for it to handle (they’re all like 5 MB), none of the photos in this post are original, but they each are pretty similar to the ones I was planning […]

Florence has awakened me! 05/28/14
Scrambling throughout my dorm, I quickly throw some clothes in a bag and ran out the door (packing is not my strong suit). I made it just in time to catch the bus to the train station. I could feel my energy level rise as I realized it was my first independent travel weekend. After […]

After a hectic flight, almost missing my connection in Paris, and realizing that my French and Italian language skills are almost non-existent; surprisingly, I made it to my home for the next four weeks, Paderno del Grappa!

Do As The Romans Do 05/19/14
As I was studying for my exams this past week, I was constantly looking for motivation. Why start reviewing my flash cards when that next episode of ‘Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ starts in exactly 14 seconds? And then I would look at the bulletin board on my bedroom wall, and I would see the […]

Ready? Set? Go! 05/19/14
Finally. After a ridiculously busy semester, it’s almost time to go. It’s finally happening. Even as I type the words, it’s still hard to believe that I’ll finally be getting on a plane and going to Italy tomorrow. I absolutely could not be more excited!

Italy. Seven days. 05/12/14
Italy. Seven days. The only way to make it seem real is to say it aloud. And when I do, I can’t stop smiling! I will be in Italy in seven days! It is what I have been looking forward to for months, but it was not until I started writing this blog that the […]

Reflection on My Time Abroad 05/06/14
Before you leave CIMBA, you listen to a few of the staff members talk about what it’s going to be like for you when you get back home. When I sat through these “town hall meetings” I kept thinking “Why am I here? I’m not going to have culture shock. I’ve only been here three […]

Advice for new CIMBIANS 04/29/14
1. Go to the Tabacchi with your friends and get sandwiches (10x better than anything at Jimmy John’s or Subway). Have a picnic at the picnic tables on campus! 2. Go on a run around Paderno and to other nearby towns. There are a few hills (they never really get any easier…) but the view […]
