Caught Off Guard: Why it’s Impossible to be Fully Prepared for Study Abroad 02/07/17
In the months leading up to my semester abroad, it felt like I’d done nothing but prepare. I renewed my passport, read articles written by students studying abroad in Italy (including the CIMBA blog, of course), downloaded the app Duolingo to learn some Italian, connected with classmates on social media, attended the CIMBA program orientation, […]

Why CIMBA? – How To Decide Where To Study Abroad 02/01/17
The first two weeks have come to an end and it already seems like I have been at CIMBA forever. I’m still learning how to order a sandwich at the local tabacchi (sandwich shop) and adjusting to the shops closing in the middle of the day for an extended lunch break. I also noticed the […]

Never Goodbye, Just See You Later: The Top 5 Things I’ll Miss the Most Abroad 01/09/17
I’d be lying if I said I haven’t had a countdown till my departure to Italy going since July. For months I’ve been looking forward to new places, people, food, and adventure. But now that the time has almost come, it’s only appropriate that I stop and smell the roses; even if that means admitting […]

How to Readjust to Life After Study Abroad 01/06/17
It’s been about three weeks since leaving Paderno del Grappa and saying “‘Til next time” to so many great people. Coming back to the states hits you really quick. It was a harsh reality to face that in the span of 10 hours I left my CIMBA family and flew back to where it all started; […]

Crunch Time: Studying for Finals during Study Abroad 12/13/16
Ciao, I can’t believe it’s the middle of my last week here. My incredible journey here at CIMBA is coming to a close. But, there’s one thing in the way: finals. Every class has a final at CIMBA. They are not cumulative (thank goodness!) but that’s what your last week consists of. I know, […]

Study Essentials To Bring With You From Home 12/09/16
As finals week is approaching and the end of the semester is coming to a close, I am looking back on my experience and wishing I packed a few things! The way of life in Italy was a huge shock when I first got here. I didn’t know the language and didn’t really understand the […]

The Crazy and Weird: Getting Outside Your Comfort Zone While Traveling 12/05/16
Ciao, I figured since the last travel weekend just ended, a good topic would be going outside your comfort zone more than just studying abroad itself, but what you do while you’re here. Because if hopping on that plane from the states is further outside your comfort zone as you want to get, then the whole study abroad […]

Add a Seat (or Maybe 5?): Getting to Know Italian Culture with Italian Students 11/29/16
This week, I had the opportunity to participate in CIMBA’s Add a Seat to the Table program. Add a Seat is organized by the CIMBA in conjunction with the Istituti Fillipin, the boarding school that shares a campus with CIMBA. Students from the Italian high school open their homes for an evening so we can get […]

How To Plan A Travel Weekend 11/15/16
Ciao, I thought planning my travel weekends here would be easy, but then I quickly realized how close I was becoming with some people and that it obviously wasn’t just about where you are, but who you’re with. It gets chaotic and frustrating when planning these weekends, but when you’re there, all the money and […]

Finding Your Home Away From Home (or How I Managed to Fall in Love with an Entire Village) 11/04/16
Its crazy to think that its already the halfway point in my time in Italy. Over the past six weeks I have really come to love the town of Paderno del Grappa (or PDG as we like to call it). I’m not going to lie, when we first arrived I was in a little bit […]
