Al Dente Diary 🇮🇹

June 28th 2026

Italy is amazing!

After an extensive travel day I landed in Verona around 5 pm yesterday, took a taxi to my hotel and was enjoying an aperitivo with my roommate, Nicky, by 8 pm! We have already started making plans to visit Switzerland, Austria, as many coastal areas as possible, and we will be tossing a coin in the Trevi Fountain to ensure our return to the eternal city. Today we move into our apartment residence hall and will meet the rest of the study abroad group!

I have downed four espressos to brace for the amount of walking, eating, sight-seeing and talking I plan to do.

Shoutout to my amazing mom for my super cute pajamas and thank you Bryan for being so awesome and helping to book my hotel room!

Arrivederci!
