My Italian First Impressions 09/27/17
Everyone knows the power of a first impression. First impressions set the tone for how we view a person, place, or experience. Having now spent two and half weeks in Paderno del Grappa, I have experienced lots of first impressions of this place and these people. It’s been equal parts exhausting, exciting, overwhelming, and eye-opening. […]

Navigating the Italian Culture 02/21/17
After spending a little over a month in Italy, I have learned a few things about the cultural norms here. At first I found some of them annoying but now I am gaining a better understanding of why Italians do what they do and how I can better submerge myself into the Italian culture. […]

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.

So you’ve decided to study abroad in a destination thousands of miles away, and you don’t speak a single word of the native language. The good news? You’re not the first student who chose this path.

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 […]

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 […]
