So… Yesterday, I travelled to Verona, the city of an awesome Roman Arena and the home of Romeo and Juliette. The plan was to stay Saturday night there, but the hostels, hotels and B and B’s costed too much. I saw everything I wanted to see including the colisseum, which was so cool and was [...]

Amici, Famiglia, Londra and LOCKETS!
First off, sorry for the lack of posts. If it isn’t obvious, school has picked up… a lot! And, I have been busy with friends and family visiting and of course traveling. Life is still going great, in fact really good. I am pretty much settled right in time to leave. It is hard to [...]

Uno, due, tre, BUNGEE…
So, I told you all that I had a video of my jump, AND, so for those interested here it is… A little info, I forgot what I was supposed to do after I jumped, so I am hanging there for a while… Kind of funny. Enjoy!
Ciao

KAKÀ! RONALDINHO!
I feel accomplished. You may ask “Why is that Jamison?” Well, it’s pretty simple, a little sad, but I don’t really care. Finally, I went to a Serie A game, big soccer game in Europe. AC Milan (maybe the biggest team in Italia and Berlusconi’s team) vs. Napoli (a young, promising team). Anyways, Napoli was [...]

Si vive una volta sola…
I have a formula… pretty complex…
Renting a car in Italy + Ferrari Factory + Bungee jumping 500 ft. = Amazing
So, this past weekend I did a lot of things I probably shouldn’t have done, for example driving a car across Italy, using the car as a hostel and then jumping off a bridge, but all [...]

Sac les blu! LES ROLLERS!
I am slowly getting better at this traveling thing. This time I actually planned ahead for Paris, but didn’t plan for some pleasant aspects of the Italian culture, like a strike of the whole transportation system (Buses, trains, etc.). A transportation system that a whole country depends on, including the American foreign exchange students. If [...]

Tuscany?
Well, it has been a while and the only one to blame is me. So, I apologize. Between having too much fun on the weekends traveling Europe and these past two weeks in school being super busy, I haven’t posted.
Anyways, two weekends ago I traveled to Tuscany… I think you have probably heard about it. [...]

Io studio giornalismo
So, I am an advertising major in Italy, studying Italian. What am I doing? Well, I still haven’t figured that out, but I have been thinking of advertising quite often, comparing our advertising in the States to “la pubblicità” here in Italy. And, the advertising here is surprisingly good, very entertaining, but I also don’t [...]

Io dico Mantova… You say Mantua…
Yesterday we visited the wonderful city of Mantua. We departed at 8 am and in less than an hour we arrived. Immediately, we took a tour of the Palazzo Te, which is an incredible building. It was built by/for Federico II Gonzaga. The Gonzaga family were the rulers of Mantova for over 600 years (similar [...]

Umbria, mamma mia!
So, this past weekend we traveled to Umbria for a 3 day excursion. While we were there we visited the cities of Perugia, Spello, Orvietro, and Assisi… Oh yeah, and we saw a CASTLE! To start off, Umbria is a beautiful region. Every city is built on top of a hill/mountain, which provides amazing views [...]
