Category: Italy: Trinity Rome

Time is going by way too quickly. Thinking about signing up for spring classes next week makes me feel like my abroad experience is almost over. This month has been incredible. Over fall break I traveled to four new countries in only nine days. We started in Amsterdam. I loved how everyone rode bikes and…

An official month in Italy has passed and I feel I am able to call Rome “home” now. The neighborhood of Rome I am staying in is called Tesstacio and lies between the Tiber River and the Capitoline Hill in an area that is very residential, but is not overpopulated with tourists. Trinity’s program includes…

Ciao! In 5 days it will mark one month in Rome!  A lot has happened in one month. I’ve made lots of new friends from all over and am excited for what is going to come in the remaining months. I like how my program has some Rollins students, but also is mixed with several…

So this is it. I am leaving for Rome. I am not sure what to expect…  after an amazing trip to Thailand this summer I am hoping that I fall in love with Italy just as much. Everyone keeps saying, “Oh, you’ll love it.” Hopefully I do. It’s a strange feeling knowing that I will…

Ciao! The past few weeks are going by so fast! With traveling every weekend and keeping up with school work during the week, it seems like my time here is coming to an end too soon. Two weeks ago I took a weekend trip to Copenhagen with friends from the program. We walked around, visited…

Ciao! Last weekend I went to Tuscany on Saturday and went to two different wine tastings. Sunday I went to an olive farm and saw the process to making olive oil. Both places were beautiful and I enjoyed seeing more of a countryside type setting. This past week was midterms and I was reminded that…

Ciao! I can not believe that I am about a third of the way through my time in Rome! It seems to go so fast once you get into the routine of it. These past two weeks have been filled with classes, wandering about Rome, and a trip to Venice with my art conservation class….

We then took a ferry to Capri where we stayed in Anacapri After dinner we got the night to ourselves and explored Anacapri. Saturday morning we hiked to Villa…
