Greece At Last!
As I probably mentioned to many of you who I talked to before my trip, a huge part of this trip was my desire to go to Greece. After seeing pictures of Greece from my friends Clara & Kyle’s trip last year, I knew I had to go. I’ve only been in Athens for a...
Nice? That’s Nice.
Bonjour from Nice! We arrived in France yesterday night, and though I was sad to leave Italy, there’s a bit of familiarity to France for me. I realized just a few days ago that being in Italy was my first time alone in a country where I don’t speak the language, and I managed just...
