One foot in front of the other, they say. It will be easy, they say. It is not that steep, they say. These statements were all said as we trekked through the cemetery to begin the tiki trail. Sounds friendly enough? WRONG! As soon as we begin, I face a steep climb...

My time in Italy was truly the best. I can’t imagine how much guilt I’d feel if I didn’t go because everyone on my trip from students to instructors were amazing and I loved meeting all of them. Our last day was split between Capri and Sorrento and they were such...

Rome was so much fun despite the very little time we had here. We got to see the Vatican and the Colosseum in the same day. I will say this has been the longest day by far (we were up and moving around 6 am) and I’m just now getting back to our hotel at 10 pm. I think...
