Greetings from Paris! The heatwave is really getting to me, I’ve seriously been missing the AC back home lately. I’ve been spending lots of time in Tuileries garden lately, which is about a 15 minutes walk from my work. One of my favorite things to do is to visit a boulangerie on my walk from…

Panini Man!
Hi everyone! Back again! I’m still trying to recover from my mom leaving last week… but it’s okay. Only 3 weeks left and we’ll be reunited! Time flies when you’re living in a foreign country! This week has been pretty chill. Monday was a lot of fun, as it was my mom’s last day in…
Summer Solstice Shenanigans
It’s been a good week in Paris and despite my homesickness I’m trying to make the most out of every day here. The first few weeks of my internship, I would come home immediately after work and basically just stay in the homestay, aside from the nights I would spend with friends. Last Monday, I…
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…

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…
