Roma! 06/11/14
The Eternal City is one of the most accurate nicknames for Rome that I could think of. There are (and were) way too many things to fit into a 3-day weekend, but rest assured, we tried our best. Now, I’m going to spare you all the gritty, sweaty details (it was like 90 degrees all […]

Ending with a BANG in Roma! 06/10/14
Although I have only been in Italy for a mere three weeks, it seems like a year. You are planning, laughing, and exploring with people you did not know a month ago. It is crazy! My final weekend in Roma was just that. Ending with the beautiful capital of Italy was just the cherry on […]

The Roman Finale 06/10/14
If you ever have the privilege and pleasure of traveling to Rome, don’t try to do it in a weekend. You will not be able to see everything you should and you’ll kick yourself for rushing through trying to get to everything. The Vatican and Coliseum tours will take an entire afternoon, and with the […]

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 […]

Ocean, pool, balcony, Italy 06/03/14
Frustration. My immediate response when I found out our flight to Nice, France has been cancelled due to strikes by the corporate airlines. After hours of planning and deciding where we wanted to go, a simple email ruined all of our plans. It was Thursday morning. We had approximately four hours to create an entirely […]

First Impressions/Cinque Terre 06/03/14
*Note: WordPress can only handle photos that are 2 MB or under, and since the ones I took on my camera were far too powerful for it to handle (they’re all like 5 MB), none of the photos in this post are original, but they each are pretty similar to the ones I was planning […]

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 […]

Around the mountain we go to Paderno del Grappa! 05/23/14
After a hectic flight, almost missing my connection in Paris, and realizing that my French and Italian language skills are almost non-existent; surprisingly, I made it to my home for the next four weeks, Paderno del Grappa! My first view of the village was a few spots of white, yellow and peach colored squares sitting […]

I'm Here. Now What? 05/20/14
Wow. I am finally here. I don’t think that it’s quite set in fully that I’m in Italy, but this sure isn’t Kansas anymore (well, Illinois technically.) But that’s not to say that there aren’t already noticeable differences. For one, as I was trying to navigate the Frankfurt airport at 6 in the morning, which […]

Do As The Romans Do 05/19/14
As I was studying for my exams this past week, I was constantly looking for motivation. Why start reviewing my flash cards when that next episode of ‘Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ starts in exactly 14 seconds? And then I would look at the bulletin board on my bedroom wall, and I would see the […]
