CARS

Posted on January 4, 2019February 16, 2021 by chlonot

American’s thoughts on France

Posted on January 3, 2019February 16, 2021 by chlonot

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

The 2-day Journey Back Home

Posted on December 26, 2018February 16, 2021 by chlonot

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

Who’s ready to PARTAYYYY

Posted on December 22, 2018February 16, 2021 by chlonot

One of the things that I knew would change the most when I came to France was the partying. The reason I knew it would change a lot is because the drinking age is 18 and the culture is so different. Though it is pretty cool, since I’ve been here Continue Reading

McDonald’s a la Française

Posted on December 21, 2018February 16, 2021 by chlonot

“An American that doesn’t like McDonalds? WHAT?” When I was little (say 9 or 10) my mom showed me a movie called Super Size Me. I’m sure most of you know this movie, but if you don’t it’s pretty much about a guy (Morgan Spurlock) eating nothing but McDonald’s for Continue Reading

New Opinion: Cigarettes

Posted on December 18, 2018February 16, 2021 by chlonot

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
