Eating Through The Travel Week Break 03/23/18

A big part of the study abroad experience is trying new cuisines and discovering new favorite flavors and CIMBA’s week long travel break presented great opportunity to experiment with regional dishes. I spent the week traveling through three cities in Spain (Barcelona, Valencia, and Madrid) and two cities in Portugal (Lisbon and Sintra). While I let myself get lazy […]

The 5 Types of Friends In Your Study Abroad Travel Group 02/24/17

One of the best parts about studying abroad in Europe is the opportunity to travel to a new place almost every weekend. But traveling wouldn’t be nearly as exciting if it weren’t for the people that you are able to share it with. So while the scenery, the food, and the history of wherever you […]

Factual vs. Actual: How Study Abroad is Way Different Than I Thought It Would Be 02/08/17

It’s officially week three (time really does fly when you’re having fun) and now that I’m basically a local (not even close), I think it’s a good time to share what I thought studying abroad was going to be versus what it actually is. So for those of you who are interested in studying abroad […]

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 Explore New Cultures Through Food 12/19/16

I am a foodie, I’ll be the first to admit it. I love food. My Pinterest board is chalk full of new recipes I want to try or recipes I love. So it only makes sense that one of the things I was most excited for when I decided to study away was the opportunity […]

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 […]

Eat Your Way Around The World 03/14/16

Before I left to explore Europe, I received some of the best travel advice: eat my way around the world. Every country’s culture tells a story about their history and the people who reside there. As I learned, food is large piece of each culture. Each new place has their own local food so why […]

Top 6 Must-Try Foods during Your Trip to Italy 03/09/16

I had the amazing opportunity of spending this last week on a lil’ Tour De Italy, with an added bonus of having my mom by my side (S/O mom for the unforgettable trip!). We bounced from Venice to Cinque Terre to Siena to Florence. Along the way we had our fair share of museums, churches, […]

Tips for a Eating Out in Italy (When You Don’t Speak the Language) 02/03/16

Eating in the United States is hard enough sometimes. As someone who has worked in a restaurant, I know how often orders are messed up – drinks spill, food gets burnt, the list goes on and on. It is funny now that I am in Italy that we are having all the same mistakes, just […]
