What Actually Happens When You Study Abroad? 02/26/16
I am now over one month into my study abroad experience…wow…..I still can’t believe that I have been here for a month! I think I say this in each of my blog posts but time is really flying because I feel like I just got here. Anyway, in a month one thing definitely hasn’t changed […]

Greener Grass: What I Learned About America By Living Somewhere Else 02/26/16
Since arriving at CIMBA, I’ve been asked one question more than any other: “So, why did you choose to study abroad?” Well, I could honestly give you about 50 different reasons beginning with “I wanted to learn about another culture” and ending with, “It sounded cool.” This is supposed to be one of the most important […]

Being Mindful of Learning Another Language 02/25/16
This past weekend, I traveled through Slovenia; a country where I knew none of the local language. While there, I became much more mindful about the importance of language and culture after an insightful conversation (in English) with a local. Up until now, I have only been to countries where I knew enough of the […]

Survival Italian: Language Basics You Should Know Before Your Trip Abroad 11/30/15
The first thing a lot of people asked me when I told them that I would be spending a semester in Italy was, “Do you speak any Italian?” In fact, I didn’t know any Italian before coming to Italy. However, as soon as I arrived, I wished I had put at least a little bit […]

Study Abroad Tip: Connecting with Peers and Professors 10/15/15
One of the many things that makes CIMBA unique is the size of the program. This semester, there are 59 students and 10 professors. My largest class is about 25 people, and my smallest class has only four. Coming from a university as large as the University of Minnesota, I’m used to 45 people being […]

Am I a Small Town Girl? 04/09/15
After growing up in a big city, it’s safe to say I was a little more than nervous to pack up and move to the small town of Paderno del Grappa. For starters, I had no idea what to expect. My life has been a blur of skyscrapers, public transportation and traffic jams. I grew […]

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! […]

España! 02/18/15
This past weekend was our first “travel weekend”, meaning CIMBA gave us Monday and Tuesday off from school to have an extended weekend to travel. We left campus Friday around 5 p.m. and went to the Venice airport. We flew to Barcelona. Our plane was slightly delayed so we arrived in Barcelona late that night. […]

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 […]
