Small-town Minnesota girl, ex-expat of Singapore, international traveler, art history major, varsity fencer, opera singer, aesthetics junkie, curious soul, gelato votary, far from home at Haverford College in Pennsylvania, making distance and immersion my teachers during a year abroad in Rome, Italy. You can follow along as I happily consume art and carbs in la bella città, but be warned I might not stay in one place for long!</span></p>

SPQR
Grazie, Roma! Bella cosa tosto è rapita.
Higher Ground
5:03pm - May 21st, 2015. It's just about the end of our time together.
The Ones That Stay With Us.
We're getting down to the end. It's a bittersweet place to be, but generative ground for certain thoughts. Like this one:
See the World
Spring break image essay, because at least late is not never and sharing is caring. What motivates you to see the world?
I Mercati di Traiano
My spring semester internship and adapting to the Italian workplace i.e. circus. How I learned to walk the tightrope of inter-cultural relations!
The AAR
My experience interning at the amazing American Academy in Rome, Fall 2014. Better late than never.
Lost in the Clouds
Earth Day, a weekend hiking the Cinque Terre, and losing my head - in the best of ways - up in the clouds & down in the forest.
A Bird on the Street
I went on Spring Break! And on a slightly unrelated note let's talk about managing money.
Hygge
A case of cross-cultural psychology...what is HYGGE, how does it work, and why does it apply to me here in ITALY?!
Roman Walkabout
Observations of my city in the throes of love - a Roman Valentine's Day and some pretty pretty pictures!
Home(s) for the Holidays
A video about the extravagant Viennese Christmas Markets and my two bits on "home" in the capital H sense.
