FIU Study Abroad

Home: Everywhere, but nowhere at the same time

Andres Davila | News Director Until I was 19, Miami was the only place I had known and considered as “home.” From the culture to my friends, the city represented what felt comfortable then. Now that I have completed my second year of college in three different cities, the definition of “home” has been a […]

Heart Home: exploring my roots through FIU’s study abroad 

Vittorio Parravano | Guest writer  My grandmother died at the age of 88.  Born and raised in Rome, she spoke broken Spanish which got worse as she grew older.

Thanks to everyone for going in this journey with me and reading this blog. Now it’s time for you to get up and get over here! I promise it’s the best experience you’ll ever have.

Blog: Goodbye to the beautiful Cinque Terre, Italy. Next Stop….

Through this time, I’ve realized that I’m coming back to Miami as a different person. That I’m coming back completely changed, which means that, once I get back, a lot of things are going to change for me.

A Traveler’s Journey – Cinque Terre Hike

Yesterday we did a 20 mile hike (equivalent of 10 hours). It was beautiful. To be walking with nature and to have a view this great. It’s almost unreal.

Duomo Area – Tour of Florence

FIU Honors College Studies Abroad: A day with Michelangelo

The David is the greatest sculpture ever made by a human being. And, in case you didn’t know, it was sculpted by Michelangelo. After this piece (and this is my opinion), everything else is kind of a detail. Important, but less amazing.
