We spent days 4 and 5 of our trip in Brisbane – not a bunch of time, but all the Australians we met said that it is not really a city that you spend a bunch of time in because it is more of a business center rather than a tourist destination. However, when we […]
I have made it to Australia…about two weeks ago (: I have not had really good internet the past two weeks that I have been here because we have been traveling a great deal as well as living in hostels that do not have free wifi as part of their package. This means that I […]
Hey there everyone. I am currently on an interview kick at the moment, with my most recent interview being with my French roommate, Stéfaine Nunes. This post was also originally featured on The College Tourist, so check it out there if you are so inclined (or just continue to keep reading below!). I conducted this […]
Since I have a really boring day of classes ahead and have spent much of yesterday just retyping my notes from these past three weeks (aka trying to do that every few minutes and then giving up and watching Whose Line is it Anyway? instead), I decided that I would make a physical list of […]
I just got back from a two day trip to Geneva, Switzerland! I went with one of my friends from the Oregon program in Lyon, and we stayed with one of her high school friends who is currently studying in Geneva because she has a baller internship with the UN. She was also super cool […]

The following are […]
And so, our first semester abroad has come to a close. The Language and Culture group took our last final this morning, as well as turned in our last paper so now we are all officially finished with our first semester being French students (or at least trying to be French students). It is actually […]
I am currently writing this all in my iPad as I sit in the Lyon airport waiting for my flight to Lisbon for the weekend! Because I am not smart and completely overestimated the time it would take to get here from my house, I have a nice three hours before my flight leaves so […]
I went to Grenoble this past weekend with two of my friends from the UC EAP Language and Culture Program, as a spur of the moment idea just so we would be out of Lyon for a weekend. Since the program is starting to come to a close (eeep!!) we are all starting to get […]
So, on Thanksgiving this year, I spent it with the entire UC EAP group! Although the portions were small, and their vegetarian options were pretty not that amazing, the night was really fun! It was good to be surrounded by all English speaking people, and a nice reassuring moment that we are all in this […]
