our exchange to Grenoble!
June 19th I arrived in Florence around 5pm, quite hung over and sleep deprived from the previous night in Rimini. While checking out the fab hostel (complete with gym, sauna, pool, and rooftop terrace) I ran into Ben!! I met him at the hostel in Positano (my most favourite place so far, and everyone else’s […]
June 17th Arrived in Rimini at about 4 pm. Headed straight to the beach, which was not nearly as nice as Positano or Cinque Terre, but still a relief from the heat. Met a bunch of people who I partied with that night. One of the hostel bartenders was flambuoyantly gay and the night was […]
June 10th I arrived in Bassano Del Grappa at 9 pm, where Giorgia, Paolo, and Ornella were waiting for me at the station, camera poised and ready! What a great welcome. We went for dinner at a really tasty Asian restaurant and afterwards to a gelateria where I had the best gelato of my trip […]

Checked in, rented an iPad (for free!), showered and went downstairs to redeem my free drink tickets. Normally you just […]

When I arrived at the train station in Milan I knew I was officially in Italy when an Italian train official helped me […]
(the sweet life, here I come) Okay! Well I’ve somehow managed to plan a 20 day tour of Italy in about 3 days :S!! I bought the France-Italy Eurail pass valid for 10 days of travel within 2 months, which just arrived yesterday. I reserved most of the trains yesterday, but sadly June 2nd is […]
