Travel: The Greatest Teacher of All 05/07/15
“The best education you will ever get is traveling. Nothing teaches you more than exploring the world and accumulating experiences.” On my first morning back in the United States, I awoke feeling as though the entire semester had been a dream. Upon my return, people began asking me, “How was Italy?” Initially, I was stumped […]

Ode to CIMBA 04/20/15
I’m incredibly lucky. I’ve seen more of the world at 21 years old than some people will see their entire lives. I climbed 463 stairs to the top of the Duomo to overlook the red-brick rooftops of Florence. I walked the streets of the Gothic Quarters in Barcelona. I paddleboated in the lake of Buen […]

Florence, Firenze, My Favorite Italian City 12/05/14
I had been to Florence in 2009 with my family and I absolutely loved it. I remember running through the Piazza della Signoria on the way to grab a last minute charm for my charm bracelet. I remember posing for family pictures in front of Ponte Vecchio. I remember strolling through the San Lorenzo leather market […]

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 […]

Two Adventures, One Weekend 05/31/14
So this past weekend, which was short (unfortunately) (but still awesome), my friends from my engineering class and I (11 of us total) decided to take a trip to Florence! When we arrived, we put our stuff away at the hostel because we were lucky/large enough to fill a room, so that we could lock […]

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 […]

Florence, Italy 02/04/14
Last weekend we all went on a bus to Florence, which is only about a 3-hour drive from Paderno. We got there at about 9pm on Friday and dropped our bags at our hostel, which was right next to the Duomo. Florence was a lot livelier at night than Venice was. We walked around the […]

Bassano, Florence, and more! 01/28/14
The first few weeks here at CIMBA have been both relaxing and busy. There have been many days where I have been exhausted from all the things we were doing, but other days where I feel like I have a lot of time to myself. The first weekend here, we took a bus to Bassano […]
