A weekend in paradise.. 06/05/13
My second travel weekend is over and it’s safe to say it wasn’t long enough. I spent the weekend in Greece on the island of Crete and right on the harbor of the city Chania. The group of us arrived in Chania and took taxis to Old Town where our hotel was located. When we arrived at […]

Hidden Beauty 05/30/13
Last weekend, some friends and I decided to stay in Paderno and go to the open air markets in Bassano del Grappa Saturday morning and Crespano Sunday morning.

Czech This Out: Prague Week 10 04/01/13
As my study abroad experience comes close to the end, I have began to feel not only sad that I’ll be bored in Chicago soon, but I will miss seeing different parts of the world every weekend. Skyscrapers in Chi-city do not compare to some of the buildings and monuments I have laid my eyes […]

Interlaken: A Weekend In the Swiss Alps 02/27/13
The week in Paderno had been a long one. Three tests, a paper, and multiple group projects. By the time my third and final class rolled around on Friday, I could no longer focus on complex isoquant curves and production functions. No. At that point the only thing on my mind was the Swiss Alps […]

Top of the World 02/05/13
Ciao, This past Sunday two friends and I decided to take on the 1700-meter mount Grappa, which towers in the background of the scenic campus. First I’ll give some background because the mountain is no ordinary pile of rocks. This mountain was the backdrop of many battles in both WWI and WWII. The most memorable […]

Venezia per il Carnevale! 02/05/13
When we left for Venice on Saturday it was cold and raining, just like it had been all day long. On top of that, we realized we had purchased the wrong bus tickets and were now going to pay for a cab to the train station. Once at the Venice train station, I accidentally found […]
