One of the main attractions that comes to mind when most people think of Italy is the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The iconic “holding up the tower” photos are on every tourist’s bucket list so of course it was one of our must-sees as well. Continue reading

Once we were settled into our apartments in Florence, it was time to tackle living like a real Italian and hit up the grocery store.
My roommates and I wanted to have enough food in our apartment so we don’t have to eat out three meals a day. While it was easier than I expected to find food in the Conad grocery store, it still came with its differences and challenges. Continue reading
They always say to go the extra mile. Well, we went the extra mile and then some.
The original plan was to fly to Frankfurt, Germany, at 4:55, have a four-hour layover, and then fly to Florence, Italy, and be there by 2 p.m. However, on the way to the Miami airport, we found out the employees at the Florence airport were on strike the next day when we were flying in so all flights going into Florence were canceled.

I accomplished the goal of 42 books on November 1 and read 3 more books after that to bring it to a grand total of 45. So here, from January to December, are the books I read/listened to in 2017. Continue reading
I recorded one second of every day in 2017 that resulted in a video montage of my everyday life over the course of a year. To add a little surprise element, I didn’t even tell anyone what I was doing. My family just thought I was super in to documenting videos for the year. Continue reading

Continue reading
