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 […]

Crunch Time: Studying for Finals during Study Abroad 12/13/16
Ciao, I can’t believe it’s the middle of my last week here. My incredible journey here at CIMBA is coming to a close. But, there’s one thing in the way: finals. Every class has a final at CIMBA. They are not cumulative (thank goodness!) but that’s what your last week consists of. I know, […]

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 […]

Ciao, I thought planning my travel weekends here would be easy, but then I quickly realized how close I was becoming with some people and that it obviously wasn’t just about where you are, but who you’re with.

Finding Your Home Away From Home (or How I Managed to Fall in Love with an Entire Village) 11/04/16
Its crazy to think that its already the halfway point in my time in Italy. Over the past six weeks I have really come to love the town of Paderno del Grappa (or PDG as we like to call it). I’m not going to lie, when we first arrived I was in a little bit […]

LIFE, LEAP, and the Pursuit of KT Certification 10/24/16
Ciao, A few of the main differences between CIMBA and other study abroad programs is that CIMBA focuses so much on professional and personal development through various programs. I know I’ve already talked about LIFE, but since I just finished my KT certification, and am about halfway through LEAP, this post is an important one. […]
