The first week I spent in Paris, France was hectic, confusing, hilarious, and overwhelmingly exciting. I’ve already learned so much from my experiences, and although I am extremely excited to start working at an amazing company, I am also incredibly nervous to see how my French experiences are about to change as I do less-touristy…
La Vie Enviée d’un Parisienne
Ah Paris, la ville-lumiere, the city of light and love… also fashion, food, and architecture. What is not to like?

Royal Wedding Weekend
Since getting to London on Wednesday, countless Harry & Meghan flags and memorabilia could be spotted all over. Flags hung from balconies, plates sold in markets, and the royal wedding was the main, if not sole, content of the Evening Standard. All of the buzz and excitement around the wedding made it even more surreal…
Eye of the “Tigre”
And it certainly was “the thrill of the fight,” well that is, the thrill of fighting the cold. Yes, the cold has finally set in here. It’s not that it is actually that cold. Really it’s in the mid 50s and windy. But this past week, we had a sudden drop in temperature from the…
My First Days in Paris
My first four days in Paris have been a mixture of exciting, informative, stressful, and awe-inspiring.
