Wanderlust 01/06/15
I’m two weeks out from my first trip to Europe. Or 16 days, according to the countdown on my iPhone. Needless to say I am a little excited. Okay, a little is an understatement. I am stoked to begin this journey. When I arrived back at school this past semester, I had an itch. I couldn’t quite tell […]

Post CIMBA- Invaluable Experience 01/03/15
Hello! Ciao! This is Mia back in the USA and my CIMBA life is totally over with this last blog. Looking back at the last semester, so many things remain giving me lots of memories and experiences.

Parting is such sweet sorrow… 01/01/15
I traveled to 6 different countries (seven if you count Vatican City) and explored 26 new places over 3 months. At the end of my three months in Italy with CIMBA, I had really mixed feelings about going home to the U.S. On one hand, I couldn’t wait to see my mom and spend Christmas with my family. […]

My Story through Scarves 12/31/14
Ever since our first trip to Cinque Terre I have been purchasing scarves that represent my experience in the city. Looking at them all lying across the ground I saw far more than fabric, I see a journey that has come to an end externally but just begun internally. It was really strange to look […]

Home is where the heart is. 12/31/14
As myself and a few other CIMBians made our last trip of the semester to the Venice Marco Polo Airport together, it felt like any other weekend adventure. I didn’t truly grasp that I wouldn’t be arriving back on campus in Paderno del Grappa anytime soon until I was going through customs back in the […]

The final week… 12/16/14
The past three months are coming to an end, and I never thought that this last week would come so quickly. We just had our last gourmet dinner and danced our night away among one another. It was a nice, relaxing, and fun way to end the semester with a bang. Toasts were shared, memories […]

Never had I ever traveled to Austria… 12/15/14
…but the first time I went to Austria, it was so great that I returned for a second time later that week! In my second to last weekend in Italy, a bunch of CIMBians and I went to Innsbruck, a little ski town in southern Austria, where I had the most magical moment of my young […]

Thinking Thankfully 12/03/14
Days before the end of my semester abroad, I’m reflecting on my experiences and it’s hard for me to believe that there was a time in my life when I didn’t think this would be possible. Two years ago, today actually, my mom and I lost my dad. Soon after that there was a time […]

The Longest Trip-Napoli-Roma-Assisi-Firenze 12/01/14
Ciao!!! This post will be the longest and contain the largest amount of pictures. For the whole 8th week, Jaein, Ham, Jinshu and I traveled around mid part Italy. Our Itinerary was Napoli-Roma-Assisi-Firenze. In English, the names are a little different: Naples-Rome-Assisi-Florence, but I prefer to use the original name since it is more comfortable to […]

Chocolate, cheese, and mountain tops. 11/26/14
Destination: Zurich, Switzerland. Finally, the week was over and my travel group, Kayla and Sam, were heading to a new country. I got on the plane prepared to study for my unfortunately timed Monday -afternoon test. It was because of this test that I wasn’t feeling like the week had particularly ended and that the […]
