Adapting to the Marseille Way

Time has flown here in Marseille, and I know it’s only going to speed up as the weather gets warmer. For some reason, I didn’t think winter existed in the south of France, and every day would be warm and sunny. I was surprised when I found out that in the winter Marseille is cool,…

Au Revoir Marseille!

My experience has been a complete mix of total enjoyment and challenging adjustments along the way.

This meant deciding which places I should travel to within my time in Europe, but also what…

Saying Goodbye to a Dream Semester

Gratitude, independence, wanderlust – just a few words that come to mind when I reflect on my past 3 months in France. When I first arrived here, I tried my best to have little to no expectations of how the semester would look, so that I could remain open minded to the possibilities of what…

Dear August 25th, 2022 me, you will come to learn many things about yourself and the bits of the world you’ve been able to see by the time you get to where I am now writing this. My growth may not be exactly measurable by the eye, but rather by my own self beginning to…
