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 […]

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 […]
