American’s thoughts on France
Around Christmas time I put up some questions on my instagram story regarding my friends opinions on France.

The 2-day Journey Back Home
The hardest part about living abroad is being so far from home. A couple days ago I traveled back home for the holidays. It took me two days. Granted, my dad bought the cheapest possible ticket because well, I’m 18 and I should be able to endure some uncomfortable traveling. Continue Reading

If you ask anyone from California (and most parts of the U.S.) their opinion on cigarettes, most will tell you that they are bad, pointless and if you smoke them you will die of cancer. And yes they are bad, I’m not defending them. But before moving to France my Continue Reading
Bread and Pasta will make you FAT
Bonjour mes amis (hello my friends), Just a little tip coming from your girl here in France, yes pasta is cheap and the bread here is the best bread you will ever taste but you cannot limit your diet to only eat these wonderful things. When I moved to France, Continue Reading
