My dad flew into Paris with his girlfriend to visit me the day after Easter. I had promised to meet them at the airport bright and early but it figures that would be the one day in my life I slept through my alarm. They were able to navigate their way from the airport to […]
Less than a month
I cannot believe that I already have less than a month left. It’s incredibly bittersweet for me. As much as I miss my friends and especially my family at home, I’m just finally starting to feel adjusted and comfortable here. But I know I am so lucky to be doing the things I’m doing and […]
Pâques à Paris
Bonjour tout le monde! It has been a while since my last entry so I will get you up to speed on my vie parisienne. This year was the first year I was unable to spend Easter with my family. While this was unfortunate, I was very blessed to spend it with friends in Paris! […]
Un dia mas.
My last full day here in Costa Rica. I literally never saw it coming and am not prepared to head back. How did this happen? Naturally I have not even started to pack, estoy muy triste. I am pretty bummed that I have to go back. Don’t get me wrong, it will be awesome to […]
Avignon et Toulouse
Two weekends ago I took a day trip to Avignon, France which is almost on the southern coast. It was absolutely beautiful! It reminded me a lot of Italy because of architecture. My friend Christina and I just walked around and ended up finding a huge indoor market called Halle where we got to see […]

This past week was the holiday of Semana Santa in Sevilla, which is a huge celebration leading up to Easter. During this time, many students and/or Sevillanos either watch the celebration or travel. Many people, including myself, chose to travel instead of staying because the city becomes very, very crowded. People from all over come […]
Panama
Well Bocas del Toro..you did not disappoint. Well done, well done. Everything- the bus/boat ride there, the hostel, the beaches, and most importantly the people- everything was amazing. So amazing that instead of going home Tuesday like I was supposed to, I stayed until and got home late last night. Unreal, definitely recommend that people […]

Occupée mais pas fatiguée
It has been a little while since my last post but that only means I have been busy enjoying and exploring France! Since I last blogged I have seen the Mona Lisa at the Louvre, visited the Sacre Coeur and Montmartre, seen works by Monet, Manet, and Rodin at the Musée d’Orsay, tasted French hot […]
Vicenza, Venise, Verone, Toscane, et un peu de Lyon
I haven’t written on here since my trip to Italy so I figured I’d update everyone. I got back from Italy on the 10th and am now back to reality. Italy was absolutely amazing. My friend Christina and I stayed with a family friend of hers in Vicenza (they were American also.) Vicenza is a […]
