Packing for going abroad is not an easy task at hand. It is something that people do not seem to talk about a lot.

When I first arrived in Siena, my host family kept mentioning something called contradas. Because of our language barrier, I was so confused as to what they were talking about.

Welcome to your Christmas shopping guide for the student in your life that is studying abroad. Even if that student is you!

I have always loved how listening to music can bring back specific memories, and how certain songs can trigger emotions or mentally transport us to different moments. How people’s wedding dance song can take them back to that day, or a child’s nursery rhyme can take their parent/guardian back to when the child was young. Even people with memory loss can react to certain songs.
