Ciao friends!! I am writing this on July 2nd, the night after the first Palio of the year. I have never seen anything like this event, and I had definitely never heard of it before coming to Siena for the summer. I wanted to do a blog post about this race in case anyone loves learning about historical things as much as I do! I also don’t want to forget anything that happened today, because it was honestly one of the neatest experiences I have ever had.Read more
A little background- I packed for six weeks in a Tuscany summer in a carry on sized suitcase and a backpack! I am staying in a bed and breakfast, so I have access to towels, hair dryers, etc. which helped me bring less!Read more
I have wanted to start a lifestyle blog for years. I have thought about it on and off several times, and each time I talk myself out of it. I never knew what was holding me back from starting, but after a trip to the local hand dyed paper store, I have a new perspective. This post explains the key reason it took me so long to start blogging in a roundabout way, so if you don’t make it all the way to the end, I completely understand!!Read more
I am on my way to Siena, Italy as I am typing this! I have been thinking about this since before I started college in 2016, and I can’t believe it’s finally time for me to go. I heard about the specific program I am going with in one of my first classes at UT, but I never believed I would get accepted and end up going! I hope to update weekly, but for now I wanted to have a list of “goals” written down so I can look back on them afterwards and see what I was thinking before I left. Some of these are more expectations than goals, but I thought goal was a good blanket term!Read more
