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…
It’s Game Time
Good day America, Greetings from Rome!! This week is probably the most exciting and most hectic week of my study abroad experience.

Fall Break!
Hi again! Last time I mentioned our extravaganza of a fall break travelling throughout Ibiza, Barcelona, and Paris over a span of 10 days. Words cannot describe these experiences; Ibiza was great to experience and definitely a unique spot to visit, but Barcelona and Paris are most definitely two of my favorite cities of all…
Amalfi Coast was unreal…
The moments you experience in your life that make you stop and pinch yourself because there is seriously no way on Earth that you are where you are have almost become a regular occurrence. This, of course, began when I realized I would be living in Rome for four months, and hasn’t entirely worn off….
Winter is Coming !! :D
Ciao Ciao, As we approach mid-October, I begin to notice a change in the weather. The mornings are much colder and the evenings are much quieter. The trees are beginning to change color and everything is starting to remind me of the seasonal changes back home. Around this time 2 years ago; I had to…
Ciao Ciao!
Hello readers! Cooler weather is finally arriving! It finally seems like the days of dripping sweat on a daily basis and getting eaten alive by mosquitos are almost to an end. Midterms are also coming up (not as pumped for this like the new weather), so things are staying pretty quiet and focused until we…
Observations
Since being in Rome, I’ve noticed a few things about this beautiful city that they don’t mention to you in The Lizzie McGuire Movie. After having been here for about a month and a half, I had kind of begun to assume that I knew my way around and felt comfortable that I knew a…
