In the mood for snow ❄️ • Are you? • Photo taken last winter in the Bologna Apennines.
“Basterebbe una passeggiata in mezzo alla natura, fermarsi un momento ad ascoltare, spogliarsi del superfluo e comprendere che non occorre poi molto per vivere bene.” Mario Rigoni Stern
Posted @withrepost • @uceap_bologna “Winter in Bologna? Nothing like a brisk walk up through the hills followed by a bonfire and local delicacies to warm up the foggy first day of December! With our fav hiking guide @silvia_hikingitaly Vineyard tour, food, organic grape juice & bonfire by Lorenzo Maini” • My second tour for University of California students in Bologna - we defied the weather and went walking in the colli bolognesi despite the cold and fog! #neverstopexploring
Years ago, I attended the University of California for a year as an exchange student from the University of Bologna as part of the Education Abroad Program (EAP). That experience led to a longer stay in California after graduation, which in turn influenced my career path and created a lifelong connection with the U.S., and especially California. So, 18 years after that first Cali experience, to lead a tour for a group of University of California students currently studying in my hometown on EAP feels all the more special 💕 [Photos @uceap_bologna]
With friends it’s always better 💕
Autumn bliss.
