Gelato Guide
When I told my friends back at Drexel that I was going to be studying abroad in Italy, they all just kept telling me how much I was going to love the gelato here. Back home I crave ice cream for pretty much every occasion and meal, so coming to Italy is kind of a ...
Becoming a Foodie
Unlike in America where a lot of food options are Americanized, Australian restaurants stick to authentic cuisines. As a result, I have had the opportunity to try a lot of different foods here. Prior to coming I was a very picky eater. I always preferred things plainer than most and I never really liked seafood. ...

The Bell Curve!
