For as long as I can remember, I have always considered myself coffee's #1 fan. Or so I thought. After coming to Milan, however, I have realized that I am placed far behind the nonnas and nonnos. I have encountered such a strong culture around coffee here. In Italy, coffee is not treated merely as…

Prague is typically a cool and rainy city, but the day we arrived the sun welcomed us with open arms. It was warm with the most perfect clouds.

On May 30, I got to experience one of the most fun things! I had always heard about the “true” football (aka soccer) experience. In America, soccer is increasing in popularity, but in England — it is everything. When I knew that I would be studying abroad in London, I knew I wanted to find…

Ciao from Milan! I’m currently in my third week abroad, and I’ve already experienced so much of what makes this city so special — stunning cultural sites, incredible food and some truly great people along the way.

I had never left the country. I didn’t own a passport. Paris existed for me through art, textbooks and movies.
