Villa d’Este was a DREAM! This villa was built during the renaissance. I did not get good pictures of the inside so the pictures of the outside will have to do. This garden was so elaborate and so beautiful. It was so serene. I could have spent DAYS here! This is yet another hidden gem […]

Pompeii & Naples
Pompeii left me speechless. We only had three hours (compared to the longest possible tour which is nine hours) in Pompeii. Next time I will definitely dedicate an entire day to Pompeii and do the longest tour possible. I think it is so cool how the lava and ash preserved the city perfectly. I also […]
Amalfi Coast | A Weekend Getaway
On the first free weekend of our trip, I went to the Amalfi Coast with seven of my classmates (who have since become good friends!!) and we had the time of our lives. I could write a whole novel on how much fun this weekend was, but I will keep it short. Six of us […]
Anagni & Collepardo | Medieval Monasteries
I did not know I loved medieval towns as much as I do until I found myself in a few. The most amazing thing about traveling with the study abroad group was that we went to places that I would normally have gone to. If I am being honest, I did not know that Anagni […]
Fiuggi
During our two-week stay in Italy, our school made Fiuggi our home. We took our day trips and weekend trips from our homebase in a small hotel called Hotel Bonifacio. Fiuggi is a tiny town about an hour from Rome. Fiuggi is famous for its water that supposedly has cured popes and Michelangelo of kidney […]
When in Rome (and Vatican City)
So let’s talk about Rome. The Vatican was cool…and that’s it. Right before I left for my trip, I got REALLY, really, really nervous. I was a little bit sick and I was worried about flying with such an upset stomach. I had a layover in Lisbon and my first flight was delayed so I […]
Ciao, Bella | My Trip to Italy
I am so incredibly blessed. I spent the past two weeks in Italy with 29 amazing classmates. We traveled all over Italy and I ate gelato in at least 7 different cities. This trip left me with some great memories and even greater friends. I crossed a few things off of my “30 Before 30” […]
Girls’ Getaway | Fort Myers Beach
I love Estero Island and all of the fun and food that comes with traveling to this destination!
Summer Goals
So here I am, smackdab in the middle of finals, yet what am I doing? NOT STUDYING! Okay…I have been studying all day, but I need a break. Breaks are healthy. I have four tests and three projects to do in the next week but my mind is 99% on summer mode, but I am […]
