Ciao famiglia e amici! I'm currently siting on a train ready for a day trip to Orvieto! It's an old medieval town up on a hill in the Umbria region of Italy (north of Rome) and it's known for it's deliciously sweet white wine (yum!). Traveling to Orvieto was recommended by one of my sister's that traveled here last summer (same one that recommended Cul De Sac) and many others. I'm so excited! I still haven't told you about my 4 week in Italy yet, th...

Buongiorno tutti! I'm now into my 5th week abroad and I just got back from Ischia on Sunday! It was absolutely beautiful and such a relaxing weekend! But I'll save all that for later, though I haven't even told you about Milan and Venice yet!

I instantly realized that I had forgot the dress that I was considering wearing, in...

Buongiorno! I'm now into my 3rd week in Rome. I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while, it was just a busy week here in Roma and I've barely had time to breathe. Luckily, the week ended quite nicely and I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks. Only three more left! I'm going to split this week up into a couple of posts, so let's start with Florence. Two Thursdays ago (wow), my roommates and I woke up earlier than usual to get ready, pack up last minute items ...

Ciao amici e famiglia! This is my last "catch up" post! Yay! :) It's now Sunday of week 2. That means we're now in week 3! How in the world is it already the beginning of my 3rd week here? I feel like I just got back from Cinque Terre yesterday and now I'm on my way back to Rome from Florence (yup, we went to Florence for the weekend (more on that later)! This week wasn't as exciting as the last (until this weekend), but that's okay because I have been feeling...
