Spring Break: A Snapshot of Eastern Europe 03/20/15
“Travel makes one modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world.” —Gustave Flaubert If there is one takeaway from the past nine days spent traveling, this is it precisely. While I have been privileged to see a portion of Europe during my stay, I had yet to venture east and experience […]

My Favorite (Non-Italian) City 03/19/15
Last Friday, I set off on a 10-day journey with 24 other students on my program for “spring break”. We were on a mission to see 4 countries in 10 days. We traveled by bus, which was a nice change of pace from all the flying I’ve been doing lately. We left Friday night around 9pm and drove […]

Cabs and trains and buses, oh my! 03/04/15
As I’ve mentioned in previous blog posts, we traveled frequently in the three months we lived in Italy and loved every minute. But it’s worth mentioning how different travel is for a study abroad student in Europe in comparison to travelling in the United States. Don’t worry, I’ll also provide some helpful advice to those […]

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. […]

Between Point A and Point B 02/02/15
My study abroad experience has been the most rewarding experience of my entire life, but in many ways it’s also been the most stressful (somehow I think these two things are related). For the past couple of months at CIMBA, I’ve traveled to a new place every single weekend, which has been a dream come true, […]

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 […]

(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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
