Nice is Nice!

Hello! Welcome back, my loyal readers! Another amazing week in Paris has passed, and I am beyond excited to tell you all about it.  Honestly, my week started off tame. I had to do a much-needed reset after getting back from Italy at midnight on Sunday, so Monday, I worked from home and prepared for…

La Barrière de la Langue

I’m now entering the 4th week in Paris. Do I feel that I have mastered the way of life here? Not at all, as will soon become clear. But I do think I’m becoming more comfortable with having no idea what is going on. I find myself in unclear situations all the time, often because…

Bonjourno!

I’m back and better than ever! This week was yet another busy week abroad, and I cannot wait to tell you all about it (spoiler alert: I’m writing this from the Catania Airport).  My week started as normal, going to my internship, grocery shopping, finishing assignments, and resetting for the week to come. That’s always…

Cats, Culture Shock, and Coco Gauff

Bonsoir tout le monde. How has it been 3 weeks in Paris already?  Last weekend, my host mom invited me to her house in northern France, in a tiny town near the coast. The weather was less than ideal, but we still got to take some walks on the beach. The best part of the…

Stuck in Belgium!

Bonjour! I’m back, and boy, do I have some stories to tell! A week in Paris feels like a month, because every day I am taking advantage of the city and exploring what it has to offer, which seems to be an endless list, but I’m chipping away at it day by day. This program…

Allez Paris!

It’s certainly been an eventful week in Paris, both for me and the city as a whole. I started my internship last week, and it’s definitely been challenging so far. Despite how huge my office building is, I only work with 4 other people. Our supervisor is based in Zurich, so we met him on…

Busy Days and Jazzy Nights

Bonjour à tous! It has officially been 2 weeks (almost) in Paris, and I feel like I am learning new things every single day. Every day here is like a new adventure, where I’m not quite sure what I’m gonna encounter or where I’m going to end up. The possibilities are seriously endless!  Let’s go…

Finalement à Paris!

Bonjour tout le monde! I am officially blogging from my homestay in Paris. What a week it has been! I am not even sure where to start… it feels like I’ve been here for weeks!  Over the past five days, I have been hopping around the arrondissements of Paris, trying my best to pack my…

La Première Semaine à Paris

It’s the night before my first day at work and I am SO nervous. What makes me feel better is that someone else in my program is working at the same company as me, so at least there will be one person I know. He actually called me a few hours ago saying that he…
