I have had an absolute blast working, learning the language, discovering the city/country, and making unforgettable memories and relationships with the locals.

Conclusions!
Hello Everyone! This will be my final blog post! My internship finished roughly two weeks ago, but unfortunately after a week of vacation, my whole family tested positive for COVID just as I was about to return home.

Thank you, Paris!
Two weeks after leaving Paris, I received the published report that I worked on while interning at Robin de Bois, an environmental non-profit organization. “A La Trace”, or “On the Trail”, reports incidents and events concerning the trafficking and poaching of endangered species worldwide.

It is incredible how quickly slipping into a routine can make time pass, even when you are in a foreign country. This past week was productive, but unfortunately, I…

As someone who is currently living in Paris, France and who has had interactions with the locals, I can confidently agree with the experts. Today I will be discussing…

After more than two years of us facing a pandemic, I finally got Covid for the first time last week. I had two coworkers that went to the office while being sick in the beginning of the week that later tested positive. After a couple of days, all of us who were still working in…
