Early this year (2015) around January I filled out an application to study abroad. I promised myself that I would not bail ( or "casually" forget the deadlines) even if I felt overwhelmed by the idea that I would be traveling across the world. So here I am... in Milan, Italy... one of the fashion capitals of the world. I consider myself beyond blessed to be where I am. If you have known me for years, you would understand that neither my luck nor my financial situation would have predicted that I would ever make it this far. In general terms, I was not meant to be here. Having the luxury to travel and study in a great business school is a blessing and I am truly grateful.
Now to the fun stuff!!
I have decided to document my experiences and you are more than welcome to travel with me:)
Venice
One of the first
Trips that I took was to the beautiful city of Venezia, Italy. And let me tell
you one thing, this place is just like it is in the movies.
The architecture is historic and Basilica San Marco is a marvel.
The
touristy shops are full of glass art and masquerade masks.
I personally thought that this was a weird combination, but I loved it. Hey you, follow me to Venice:)
Lake Como
My next adventure was to the city of
Como. After getting off the train all you could do was marvel at the giant
mountain sides. This indicated a valley and to my hopes a glistening
lake. GORGEOUS.
Time for one of the most scenic views of
your lifetime.
Cinque Terre
Ahhhh... the city of five
lands LITERALLY!!
I have to say that this has been my
favorite adventure thus far. This was my first 2 days trip and I kinda of sort
of loved it. I felt much more relaxed; vacationing sea side for a couple
of days is not as stressful and trying to walk through all of venice in one
day.
The weather was on point, the water
was unbelievably perfect, and the hiking (yes hiking) was something I will
always remember. Hiking from Monterosso to Vernazza really felt like an
adventure.
Thank you Cinque Terre for being so
perfect.
Oktoberfest
Ahhh, the infamous Oktoberfest! You were everything that I
expected you to be. The atmosphere of this place is one-of-a-kind. Who would
have thought of creating an environment that could be enjoyed by both the
drunken and everyone else (although having rides and drunk people can be an
issue…ohh well). I would love to point out that the food was absolutely
amazing. It was nice to take a break from Italian food. This one-day trip was
for the books, but I wish that I had time to explore Germany for another day.
Come along with me…
