Here and there
In and around World
These past few years have been full of awesome adventures and this next year will be no exception. As I head back to Europe, I am anticipating some challenging times (immersed in the French language) but I am excited about the experience to be immersed in the culture, meet new people, become more fluent in French (and hopefully to be a tour guide for those who come to visit!). I hope that my journal can give you a good idea of what is going on with me, as well as provide great information for those travelling. Keep in touch!
