Summer has finally come to an end. After waiting for months for this moment to arrive, my bags are packed, I am checked in and I have my passport in hand. I am ready to start an adventure in The Eternal City! Since I was young I have always been fascinated with the Italian culture….
Category: Italy: ISA Rome
Destination: Italia!
After waiting all summer for this moment, it is finally here and I cannot believe it. The anticipation and excitement have been killing me because there are so many new experiences in store, and I have no idea what to expect. One thing I know for sure is that I have been dreaming of this trip…
The Next Step in My Journey Through Life!
Ciao, Looking back at all the wonderful experiences that I have been fortunate to be apart of, I realize that this next experience will probably be the biggest, so far! While sitting at my dinning room table and typing this paragraph, I found myself reflecting on my life. Growing up in a small Connecticut town and living a somewhat…
(Somewhat) Ready for Departure
It’s so surreal to imagine that I will be in Rome within the next 48 hours! This whole summer has been leading up to my upcoming semester and now that the moment has arrived, it still has not struck me. Before entering college I always had an inclination that I would one day see myself…
Introduction to Study Abroad
Ciao! I could not be more excited to start my journey abroad in Rome, Italy, in exactly one week.

Spring Break in Greece Cont.
After departing Corfu we took a bus (driven by an eccentric old man named Socrates) to Athens. The city itself wasn’t entirely impressive in my opinion. It lacked the elegance of older European buildings (the city was rebuilt in the 1950s by the Germans) and every corner seemed to be an overpriced tourist shop. Regardless,…
Yamas!
Day 1-4 Greece has always been on my bucket list of beautiful places to go to. And I feel so happy to have ventured across such a historic and beautiful country for Spring Break! We began with an 18 hour ferry ride from Italy to Athens (yes 18 hours… never.. again..), and then transferred to…
Eat Pray Love
Another adventure in Italia bella. This weekend a large group of my ISA program students ventured north into Tuscany. Our first stop was the timeless city of Florence. Although a small and crowed city, the historical gyms that so influenced renaissance artists shine through the flocks of tourists. Upon arrival we checked into our hotel…
