Final Reflection 04/22/22

Now that I have made it back home and am settled in, I would like to write my final reflections of this whole study abroad experience. The best thing about being home is finally getting to see everyone who I had been missing so much. Second to that is the food. Italy had great food, […]

How I Financed my Trip 04/06/22

I am here to be honest about money to give you all a good idea of how much this program costs and how you could go about paying for your study abroad experience. One reason why many people back at my university choose to not study abroad is because the cost is so high. I […]

Two Great Cities 02/11/22

Venice is a must see and should be at the top of your list. This was my first trip and the whole CIMBA group went. It’s close enough to Paderno del Grappa to feel comfortable, but at the same time a whole different world. Florence was also amazing. It had more to offer than Venice, […]

La dolce vita – “the good life” 11/22/19

As I write this, I am listening to a neighboring tenant slap their rug against their windowsill to remove the dirt and dust, watching the steam billow out of my coffee mug, and welcoming the hint of coffee in my breakfast tiramisu.
