Although some people might be thankful to go home after a month abroad, I have found myself already wanting to come back (and I’ve been here over a month!). The weather has worked out really well for us this trip, and I’m so thankful considering I was preparing for the worst heat ever. That being …
Although France is way less ‘omg look at me I have religion’ than they may have been previously, they still have impeccable churches.

It was really fun to revisit some of the places we have been in class and also explore new parts of Paris! We were able to go to the Picasso Museum, Maison de Victor Hugo, Eiffel Tower (for the …
I’ve officially been in France for a week! I think I’ve managed to kick jet lag to the curb and now just have to remember to not text people at 10am Paris time (4am EST). It’s been such an exciting adventure so far, I’ve seen many adorable French towns, incredible churches, and stereotypical French people …

I am so excited to return to Paris! I went with my parents and my godmother when I was about 1 1/2 years old, and I cannot wait to experience it as an adult! The countdown is on!
