Journal Entry:

This spring has been full of adventures in Paris and in the French countryside! Thank you for coming on this journey with me. Together, we learned about French food and etiquette, museums and traditions.

As my adventures in France this year come to a close and I look back on everything I’ve learned and experienced this year, I am very thankful to have been able to study abroad. Immersion in a new culture is a very rewarding challenge, with twists and turns along the way. Being in France has dramatically improved my understanding of the French language, culture and customs. My appreciation for my families traditions has only grown as my friends taught me about their culture and holidays.

During my trip, many people asked about what it’s like in the United States, and whether my experience matches what they see in movies. Some of my friends from France even went to New York City for their own study abroad. It was nice to be able to exchange tips and tricks about Paris and New York City, things like how to take the metro and subway, which museums we particularly enjoyed visiting, and what foods we have to try.
