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. One of my roommates' friends also visited us from Hawaii, so we went out with them, and it was so much fun!

I found a place that makes Japanese style bentos and it was so delicious. It was a 6 minute walk from my apartment.

I did my nails this day and was really hungry after so I found a small hole in the wall place that makes Japanese bentos and it was so delicious. A bit on the pricey side though.

Moma Cakes is one of my favorite places to sit and study because they have good pastries, cakes, and boba. Also, the price is pretty reasonable.

This is a 3-4 euro pizza from conad and my roommates and I love this pizza because it's so cheap, filling, and delicious.

Moving into week 8, I am on my way to PARIS!


My first experience of Paris wasn't so great. As soon as I got off the plane, the tram wasn't working so everyone had to take an arranged bus to get to the city center. Unfortunately for me, a guy came to sit next to me on the bus and he was drunk. He threw up twice and I was very uncomfortable. Luckily for me, a sweet girl behind me stayed with me for the rest of the way. But even with that first initial experience, I didn't let that stop me from enjoying the rest of my trip.

I looked forward to eating Chipotle since we don't have any in Hawaii and because I needed a change of food other than Italian food (fyi there is not Chipotle in Italy)

What's a Paris trip if I didn't go see the Eiffel tower?
