It’s been over a month since I last blogged- oops look like I have been adopting the Chilean lifestyle maybe a little too much 🙂 My study abroad experience so far has been spectacular, a once in a lifetime learning experience that I got the chance to share with my “Pololo” or boyfriend from Loyola …
After a series of unfortunate events this past weekend, lets just say it was either bad luck, bad kharma or just good ol’ Shirley staying true to her clumsyness… I had just the inspiration I needed last night! After spending almost a full day at the hospital getting x-rays and finding out I’ll be in …
The reason why I labeled this blog Louis, is simply because that is the name of mi gato aqui en Santiago! As lame sauce as this may sound, he has grown to be one of my most loyal and cuddly companions while living here! He sleeps with me every night, keeping my feet warm and …

I have spent the majority of my life in the mid-west region of the United States, living in a secure Kansas City suburb. Most of my …
Benvenuti! I’m excited that I can share my experiences here; I’m sure they will be plentiful. I feel odd posting an entry before I even leave, but then again, it’s been an experience just preparing myself to leave! I have been planning on studying abroad in Rome ever since I sent that deposit off to …
My Visa is being processed in New York City, my textbooks are being shipped from various warehouses, and I sit around in Cincinnati.
