Is It Over Already? 06/19/15

I did not think that that my CIMBA experience would fly by this fast, but lo-and-behold it’s over. Finals are completed; we’re checked out of our rooms and off on our final adventure (to Split, Croatia) before we head home. While CIMBA flew by way too fast, it is certainly an experience I am grateful […]

How to Balance Study & Travel 06/15/15

Ciao! I have just completed my fourth and final week at CIMBA. The time really has flown by and I can’t believe that it is done. Studying during the week, traveling on the weekends, making friendships and memories along the way have consumed my time. I couldn’t have asked for a better learning experience. CIMBA […]

Don’t Ask. Just Eat. 06/09/15

Cassata, Panelle & Arancine- Oh My! Culture can be made up of many things, but food plays a key role in the perception of visitors. As a visitor of Sicily this weekend, I fell in love with their culture and their food. Even though Sicily is still apart of Italy, the cuisine has a unique […]

A Surreal Experience 06/08/15

Guten tag! Green grass billows slightly in the wind. Evergreen trees stand tall covering hills and mountains. Peaks of mountains gleam white from above. Blue skies in every direction with a few stretched out cotton balls as clouds. Colorful houses sprinkle the ground. Mother Earth appears so natural, raw, and beautiful. It’s relatively untouched with […]

Cultural Whirlwind: Three Countries in Four Days 06/03/15

Hallo, Bonjour, Ciao- three forms of hello. Three languages, groups of people, cultures and cities in a four day weekend at CIMBA. Cultural whirlwind, I think so! Each week seems to be speeding by in Paderno del Grappa and one adventure after the next comes and goes with laughs, memories and unbelievable stories from the […]

The Classroom Experience 06/02/15

Perhaps one of my favorite things about my experience at CIMBA so far has been the professors here. While there are so many other things to be doing in Italy, my professors have made every second of class meaningful and the lessons they teach intentional. In my international financial accounting class taught by Dr. Tim […]

When in Rome 06/02/15

Ciao! Whether you are in Italy, another country, or even at home, “when in Rome” can be a good philosophy to live by. Experience the world around you. Live it, love it, and try it. Embrace your old routine of actions, but don’t be afraid to try something new. “When in Rome” pushes you to […]
