Ever since I was a young teen my mom always told me that if there was one city I was going to travel to, it had to be Paris. My mom traveled the world, lived in many cities and I knew that I had to...

Today was my first day really taking in the Roman lifestyle. These past few days I have been going to orientation, going on tours and figuring out the city, but today was my first day really on my own. I'm finally getting into a routine...
And just like that, I’m all moved into my apartment in Rome. Its crazy to think that I’ve been planning this trip since last October and now I’m finally moving in and starting a life here. As far as the apartment goes, it is exactly what...
