Florence was such a cool city! There were so many young people. This is another city that I want to go back to. Our breakfast at La Milkeria was sooo good! Tuscany as a whole was beautiful. The day after I was in Florence with my friends, the entire group headed back up to Cortona […]

I’m Gondola Miss Italy | Venice
Riding a gondola through the “streets” of Venice was high on my “30 Before 30” list. I was so happy to check that one off on this trip. The gondola ride was amazing. It was so cool to ride through the city and into the Grand Canal. The architecture was wonderful. What I liked the […]
Villa d’Este | Tivoli
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 […]

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 […]

When in Rome (and Vatican City)

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” […]
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 […]
