Thanks to one of the most incredible professors I have ever had, I stumbled upon this link. This is an article from Relevant Magazine that aims to reach Christians in their twenty’s and thirty’s. Relevant Magazine does not feature articles about how relevant the magazine is to each reader’s life,... Continue reading

Embrace. Natural. Beauty.

All it takes is a short bus ride to take you away from the chaos and traffic of a big city and bring you to Tivoli and Castelli Romani where the peace and tranquility of nature awaits. Yesterday was incredible. Villas, fountains, gardens, white wine and fragolini were all highlights... Continue reading

Easter in St. Peter's...

Easter in Rome? How lucky am I? I attended Easter Mass in Saint Peters Square, one of my favorite places in Rome. Everything about the Basilica and the Piazza fills my soul. It is a place where I go to people watch and where I go to think. It is... Continue reading

J'aime voyager..

When I returned to Rome after my 10-day break... I barely had the chance to unpack. 10 days of traveling and 3 different countries was NOT enough for me! A few days before leaving for my 10 day break.. I booked a flight to Nice! One of my friends from... Continue reading

Budapest, Hungary.

Do you know that Budapest is really not one place? The area of Buda and the area of Pest make up the city of Budapest. Crazy right!? I never knew that until I came here! Love that. That is like saying that Pittsburgh is really two different towns... Pitts and... Continue reading

Life through a lens...

I am not a hater of technology by any stretch of the imagination. Technology and the Internet gives me the ability to web chat my loved ones who are thousands of miles away. It gives me the ability to have unknown information at my fingertips. Come on, we have all... Continue reading

Last day in Vienna...

I couldn't have asked for more perfect weather today. I couldn't stop enjoying the sunshine! One great thing about Vienna is there are so many wonderful plazas and parks for you to sit and soak in your surroundings. I started my day bright and early with the Belvedere Palace. I... Continue reading

Second Stop: Vienna, Austria

After a 4 and 1/2 hour train ride, I arrived in Vienna. So rich in History and Art, I explored the city almost immediately after getting settled. Excited that the weather is a bit warmer than my last few days in Prague, I explored the center city and... Found a... Continue reading

Color me Barcelona.

A city full of life, Barcelona is a prime example of a Modern city. With night clubs and bars closing at 9 o’clock in the morning, Barcelona just might give New York City a run for its money with the title of “The City That Never Sleeps.” Home of many... Continue reading

Crossing Time Zones: Rome to Home--Home to Rome

Many people use the word “home” loosely. I hate to admit it but…I am guilty of referring to a hotel room as “home.” Does home necessarily have to be a place? Is “home” the house you grew up in as a child or is it your super cool new house... Continue reading

Istanbul not Constantinople.

From the moment I got off of a plane on Thursday morning, to the moment I got onto a plane Monday morning, 99% of the people I crossed paths with were some of the nicest people I have ever met. Being used to Western European culture, language and people, I... Continue reading

Education is Power.

I majored in Communications and Journalism. If you follow me enough, you will absolutely catch me using my fingers to add. Not always, but it happens… so I can’t fully deny it. Usually it depends on the level of caffeine I have consumed that day. We all have heard it... Continue reading

Paestum: Cheese and Temples

Not only is Paestum home of the most well preserved Ancient Greek Temples, it is also home to an organic buffalo mozzarella farm. These buffalo have the life! They wake up to Mozart in the morning and get massages by the afternoon. The life of a buffalo seems to be... Continue reading

High Quality H2O.

The Island of Capri. There are absolutely no words that can possibly describe how incredible this place is. Capri is truly my favorite place in the world... at least of what I have seen so far. Since no words can possibly do this paradise justice, I must post a billion... Continue reading

Every day is a winding road...

The roads in Sorrento along the coast give you a unique photo opportunity around every bend. For those who get car sick (like me).. you are too preoccupied to even think about it! My delicious dinner on Friday night... Warning: things were more delicious than they appear. (Grilled Calamari) Continue reading

After a 5 hour+ bus drive down the boot, we began the weekend hiking Mt. Vesuvius. For those of you wondering, Mt. Vesuvius is an active volcano! Crazy! It overlooks the Golf of Naples and is known for the eruption that destroyed the city of Pompeii. In the distance you... Continue reading

My life is unreal.

This past weekend was absolutely incredible. Southern Italy for the second weekend in a row. Can it get better than that? Nope. The entire campus had an Ancient Campania Excursion this weekend visiting Mt.Vesuvius, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri and Paestum. The reason why I love this excursion so much? SORRENTO AND...

My Weekend Extravaganza.

Being Calabrese, I have been to Southern Italy many times since I have started traveling seven years ago. However, this weekend, I have experienced towns in other regions of the south that are unlike anything I have ever seen before. From a resort along the sea, to a cave hotel... Continue reading

One of the greatest parts of Florence is climbing the Duomo and seeing the entire city at your feet. After climbing 347 steps up the cuopola, the sky welcomes you with an incredible amount of peace. The oldest bridge in Florence, The Ponte Vecchio!! One of the highlights of my... Continue reading

Largo Argentina...

When I find myself missing my kitty, which is every second of every day, I always end up at Largo Argentina.. aka.. the cat sanctuary. Since Largo Argentina is a giant hole in the ground with a bunch of ruins... all the stray cats in Rome hang out there on... Continue reading
