Week 15 & 16 (LAST BLOG)
Hi there. You have officially made it to my last blog. Wow. What an eventful few months. In these two weeks, we will be going to the DOLOMITES, doing finals, and packing to go home. When I came back from Milan, my roommates and I went to dinner with one of our friends who came to visit from studying abroad in Barcelona. We ate at this restaurant called Trattoria Za Za, and it was really good! I then packed my bag, and my two roommates and I made our way to the Dolomites!

Week 13 & 14
Week 13 & 14 has arrived and I am feeling homesick as ever. We are getting closer and closer to the end of study abroad, and it's a bittersweet feeling. Over the next two weeks, I will travel to Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, and Milan. Starting in week 1, we went on a school trip to Pompeii, Sorrento, and Capri. In Pompeii, we learned a lot about Pompeii's rich history and got to explore the old and new Pompeii. I also bought a Tung Tung Tung Sahur balloon and carried it all over

Week 11 & 12
After coming back from Morocco I had a nice break from traveling for two weeks besides the one day within the two weeks where we had a day trip with the school to Cinque Terre. I used these two weeks to do homework, go to class, rest, and eat more than I usually would, since my diet in Morocco was mainly snacks. Soup and dumplings from Glovo Salad Salad and soup After eating all those snacks and foods my body wasn't used to, I decided to eat a bit healthier here and there whe

Week 9 & 10
After a few days in Paris, I took the Eurostar and made my way to LONDON and stayed there for 2 1/2 days. What's crazy is that it took only about 2 hours to get from one country to the next. As I travel around London, I find myself absolutely loving it. Continue reading to find out what I did in London! I craved Taco Bell a lot because I wasn't able to have it in Italy, so it became my first stop in London. It was also a five minute walk from my hostel! Going to England, I kn

Week 7 & 8
During week 7 I use my time to explore more of Florence, spend time with friends, and enjoy the abundance of food the city has to offer. Moving into week 8, I will be doing some traveling. Read more to find out where I'm going! Here's a little photo overview of how week 7 went for me. I ate out a bit because I wanted to try some new things.

Week 5 & 6
During week 5 & 6 I had just gotten back from my Budapest trip and spent the rest of my time in Florence. The longer I stayed in Florence, the more I started to try new food places. I ended up finding some of my favorite dessert places within two weeks. I also visited a few museums for class and just for fun! Gucci Museum Me & my friend Alisha @ the Gucci Museum During my fashion class, I was able to explore and learn about the Gucci museum. There I was able experience immers

Week 3 & 4
As I slowly find my way around Florence the next few weeks, I find myself piecing small details together. I was able to find my way back to the apartments without using a map, found some Asian grocery stores, and figured out which had the best prices. Not long after settling in, I took a few trips to Rome, Bologna, Vienna, and Budapest. Rome, Italy: Trevi Fountain Colosseum Maritozzi In my opinion, I thought Rome felt overhyped by the internet. It is very beautiful, but I di

Week 1 & 2
First few days in Florence: On the first day I arrived, I had to drag my luggage to my apartment, which would generally be easy, but in this case was difficult due to the cobblestone roads. When I got into my apartment, I had to bring both my suitcases up four stories because there's no elevator in my building. The apartment itself is very nice and clean. I also got to meet two of my other roommates, and they were very nice. Going into a few days later, we had three days of o
