In Anticipation of Paris

I was 14 the first time I visited the city of love. I remember being echanted by the glittering Eiffel Tower and telling myself I would return.

Now, almost 10 years later, I am a few weeks away from realizing my dream of studying abroad. After working full-time for two years, I saved up enough to pursue a post-grad and study abroad. I quit my job (which was really hard because I loved it so much) and I went back to school to study PR.

With a few weeks left to prepare, it still has not sunk in that I will be living on my own for the first time in my life in one of the busiest cities in the world. No amount of tips and tricks can truly prepare someone for a trip like this. However, for someone who has grown accustomed to sink or swim situations, I should be able to tread water at the very least.

I will be using this platform to update you with my experiences and things I learn along the way in hopes of helping and inspiring those who are also interested in a big move.

With that being said, I cordially invite you to see Paris through my eyes.
