Un'Avventura Italiana - An Italian Adventure
In and around World
With only 9 more italian credits lingering as the final requirement of my bachelors degree, I'm setting off to complete them at the Università di Bologna - the first university in Italy AND Europe! This medieval town has been described to me by many as the "Ann Arbor" of Italy, which makes me confident that after countless hours of research, I chose the right university! While there will not be a concrete schedule of travels until I "register" for my courses, I am sure it will include Carnevale in Venice, St. Patrick's day in Dublin, the Mozart festival in Salzburg, Trips to visit my favorite Oxford student ;), and treks down the Amalfi coast, the south of France, and the Cinque Terre. And obviously I can't miss places like Athens, Barcelona, Prague, Budapest, Stockholm, Bath, London, Lisbon, Paris, Marseilles, Munich, Berlin, Vienna, and hopefully many more! Hopefully I can make this a blog full of fun stories and great pics for all of you to enjoy :)
