One of my favorite things to do in Paris was to sit out on the Eiffel tower lawn and just take in all of the stunning scenery. I absolutely loved to realx and watch the sun set over the tower. When the lights turn on and sparkle, it was unreal. So many people socialize and…

When first arriving to my exchange in Zurich, Switzerland everything was new, and I didn’t know anyone, nor did I have any real knowledge of the city and culture I had just stepped into. My first full day after arriving I remember going grocery shopping and feeling incredibly overwhelmed. Many of the products weren’t very…

A very exciting cultural experience I got to enjoy was the snowman burning in Zurich. This festival is called Sechselauten. In this festival, there is a lot of excitement in the city, food stands, parades, and most significantly a giant snowman. This event was a public holiday in Switzerland, so class was canceled and a…
