While studying abroad, I maintained a blog to share my photos and adventures with my friends and family back home. I titled it: “Bellissime Avventure” which translates to “Beautiful Adventures,” which they absolutely were. I traveled to more than 30 cities in 16 countries over 6 months. I’m sharing the posts again for the first time in six years.

About Me

Advice

I kept two sub-pages here: “Links to Pages I Love” and “Packing”

Goals

I set some Goals for myself before I left and successfully hit a few of them! Some (like running) were just unrealistic.

Photo Gallery

Before leaving, I printed tons of photos so that I could put them on a gallery wall in my dorm room to look at when I got homesick.

Travels

I kept a list of all the places that I wanted to go to, a log of where I’d been, and tried to keep it updated! Eventually school caught up to me and I didn’t have as much time to update the blog as I’d hoped, but it’s pretty thorough!
