Vienna

In early March, I visited my friend Johannes for a 3 day weekend holiday in Vienna, Austria. I arrived late in the evening on Thursday and was on my own for the majority of my first day and a half. Johannes had a hectic work schedule that week so I was on foot solo to […]

Milano Fashion

I suppose just like professional sports, modeling has its off-season. While I am going to castings every week and talking with my agency regularly, the momentum of the chaotic fashion season in January and early February has come to a near halt. This past week I still had my share of castings, including runway events […]

Venezia

This past weekend, I spent two amazing days in Venice! I took the train in from Milano Centrale and arrived Saturday afternoon without any reservations or an idea of what to expect. I purposely did very little research before hand because I wanted to experience the city without any expectations. What I encountered has been […]

Bocconi Week 1

There was definitely some adjusting that I wasn’t prepared for that comes along with attending a foreign university. Online access is completely different, where in all my other college experience I had a “blackboard” to get all my class information from. Bocconi has something similar but its not as fluid as I’m used too and […]

Cinque Terre

It is in the Liguria region of Italy, to the west of the city of La Spezia. “The Five Lands” is composed of five villages: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding […]

The week following likely the best snowboarding of my life, I was able to experience European soccer, TWICE! On Tuesday, My roommate Niccolo and I went, with our neighbor Manuel, to San Siro, the stadium shared by two of the best and most popular teams in all of Europe, AC and Internazionale Milan. Tuesday’s Match […]

The Alps

During the last weekend in January, I made my way north to Dornbirn, Austria to visit my friend Devery, whom I met through my lifelong friend Donato. The two of them played baseball together at Phoenix College before they both moved on to Division 1 universities and eventually being drafted into the major leagues; Devery […]

January 21 – January 23

I had a very eventful weekend.. Friday, once I was finished with my castings for the day, the entire Nino Residences got together for a community dinner and block party that led to my first night out in Europe. About 8 of us went to Corso Como, the Milano bar district, to a nightclub called […]

Milan Through My Eyes

The First 10 Days

I have had an amazing time so far, I don’t think I could have possibly thought that my transition would have gone this well. I’ve made great friends so far and seen things that I didn’t think was possible just a few months ago. Work has been incredible! In my first two weeks, I’ve met […]
