So, today was all about stepping outside of my comfort zone.. Although, I don’t really have a comfort zone, I kind of just love to explore. I mean look at what I’m doing now – a few months ago I decided I wanted to somehow come back to France and now I’m here living inContinue reading “A Day of Adventures”

Leaving Home Behind
Well, this is it. It’s my last night in this wonderful country that I’ve come to love with all of my heart. Tomorrow morning I’ll be leaving my home behind and a piece of my heart. This has been the most wonderful summer of my life and I hate to see it come to anContinue reading “Leaving Home Behind”
Chez Martial
Last night was the last dinner I’ll share with Auburn and Austin at our favorite restaurant here in France. We discovered Chez Martial at the beginning of our trip and it’s been our favorite place to dine ever since. Even though this was the place that I had my first and only interaction with boudinContinue reading “Chez Martial”
A beautiful day in Annecy
Yesterday was a great day. I spent the day in the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen in my life and I now know where I will live later on in life. Auburn and I woke up early yesterday to take the train to a town about two hours (by train) away from Lyon. OnceContinue reading “A beautiful day in Annecy”
I have found the meaning of life…
And the meaning of life is macaroons. Yesterday I had a macaroon for the first time in my life and I knew the second I tried it that they were going to be a problem for me the rest of the time that I’m here in France. My mouth was in Heaven. If you don’tContinue reading “I have found the meaning of life…”
Have you ever eaten a pig’s foot?

Auburn and I were out to eat in Vieux Lyon tonight and decided to be adventurous. Or at leastContinue reading “Have you ever eaten a pig’s foot?”
Tomatoes and mozzarella
I’m developing a strange food obsession over here in France. Like I said, I’m eating things I normally wouldn’t try at home and I’m loving them. Things like avocados and tomatoes. But there’s something that I love the most over here that I don’t think I’ll be able to get enough of when I getContinue reading “Tomatoes and mozzarella”
Cannes, you have my heart.
I don’t even know where to begin when talking about this weekend. All I know is that it can be summed up in one word: Indescribable. We arrived late Friday afternoon and the day was perfect for the beach. Funny thing is, we never really made it there. Friday just happened to be the Fête deContinue reading “Cannes, you have my heart.”
My host sister is better than your host sister.
TODAY IS A GREAT DAY. I FINALLY HAD MY MEXICAN. LIKE REALLY. So.. basically I have the absolute best sister in the entire world. I was out this afternoon with Auburn for drinks and a snack, just walking around our favorite part of Lyon, taking in life in Vieux Lyon. Around the time we wereContinue reading “My host sister is better than your host sister.”
Homesick? Say whaaaa.. “We belong in a world that must be strong, oh that’s what dreams are made of”
