Why CIMBA? 11/14/18

I’ve known for years that I wanted to study abroad when I was an undergraduate student. Though I hadn’t decided exactly where, I always imagined myself in Europe. After many visits to the study abroad office and extensive research on the different programs, I decided CIMBA was the best possible program available for business students. […]

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 […]

Basic Tips for Traveling in Europe 09/16/15

Where Have I Been? Good Question. I began my journey in Europe July 5th when I landed in Amsterdam and the next day I began my 6 week program in Utrecht, a smaller city only 30 minutes away by train from Amsterdam. The courses in the program attributed to my international business minor and every […]

Catalonia Dreaming 02/20/15

It’s crazy to think I have officially been in Italy for one month! Time is flying by, yet moving slowly. I’ve done so many new things over the past four weeks that it feels as though I have been here for much longer. A girls weekend in Barcelona was just what I needed—complete with relaxation, […]

España! 02/18/15

This past weekend was our first “travel weekend”, meaning CIMBA gave us Monday and Tuesday off from school to have an extended weekend to travel. We left campus Friday around 5 p.m. and went to the Venice airport. We flew to Barcelona. Our plane was slightly delayed so we arrived in Barcelona late that night. […]

Fiesta then Siesta 12/16/14

Barcelona really knows how to celebrate. The Sunshine Crew arrived late on Wednesday for the final extended weekend of the program. This city was so lively at night it surprised all of us! The next morning we woke up pretty late. I would never have thought of the lack of sleep I would be getting […]

(Un)Knowingly Loving It 12/16/14

As I finalized the paperwork that would send me to Italy, what I did know is that I would absolutely love traveling around Europe and experiencing the many different cultures that this experience has to offer me. What I didn’t know is that I would make some of the best friends and that I would […]

Nine days of travel, three countries, countless memories. 12/11/14

With the arrival of the travel week, we were officially half way through the semester, even though it felt like I just stepped foot in PdG days ago. Although I’ve been traveling throughout my time here, for some reason it felt odd to me that I wouldn’t be in class for a total of nine […]
