I’m finally back at Rollins and it almost feels like I never left. If I didn’t have pictures, I would feel like this past semester didn’t actually happen. Living in Rome really was like a dream and I can’t believe how incredibly lucky I am to have been given such an opportunity. It was so…
Category: Italy: ISA Rome
Less than 2 weeks!!
Hey everyone, It’s weird to think how things are coming to an end here in the upcoming weeks, it is so bittersweet but I am truly almost ready to be back at home sweet home. Being from Orlando, Florida, this drop in weather is not ideal while my friends and family are basking in the…
Soaking up Italia
It keeps hitting me in waves at random moments how lucky I am to be living this incredible adventure and literally traveling the world. As much as I’m loving exploring new countries, I am so excited to be seeing so many different parts of Italy…Literally things that I’ve only ever dreamed about, seen in pictures,…
Fall Break Fun
What’s up guys, **My apologies, I typically write my blogs on the plane or in route to our next European destination, thus I never have internet upon completion. My intent it to post each blog once I come in contact with internet, but it never seems to work out that way. Anyway, here is a blog that…
It’s a bad month to be a turkey
Salve ragazzi, So today is Friday, November 13, 2015, and in exactly 7 days my parents arrive here in Rome for the annual AUR Thanksgiving family weekend.

A Tourist in My Own Town
I don’t think it would be right to post another blog without at least saying something about the occurrences in Paris and subsequently throughout the world. For me, it seems like these events have had much more of an affect on me they have the other people I surround myself with. I’m unsure as to…
Vienna, Salzburg and Firenze
I never thought I would say that I’ve been to the most beautiful place in the world, but after my trip to Austria I think I can honestly do so. We started off our weekend trip in Vienna where we walked, rented bikes, and figured out the much-more-efficient-than-Rome tram system. We stumbled across a number…
Halloweekend
I spent the long weekend of Halloween in Barcelona, Spain. I had been excited for this trip for as long as I could remember. When I decided to come to Europe to study abroad I had 3 places in mind that I wanted to go, even if I didn’t get to travel anywhere else. First…
Fall Break
I had been looking forward to fall break since August when my roommates and I had begun planning our trip. We decided to take advantage of the 10 day long break by hitting the French Riviera in the South of France, then ending in Paris in order to meet up with some of the other…
I lost my heart on Fall Break.
I can say without a doubt that my Fall Break experience has been the most memorable and eye-opening part of my semester abroad thus far. I have been seeing and learning so much, and I have loved every minute of soaking up the culture, atmosphere and lifestyle of each new city. I never thought I…
