Antigua, Guatemala
After enjoying about a week in Mexico City and Oaxaca, it was time to say goodbye to Mexico and head to my next destination: Guatemala! Thursday After my lost-passport scare in the Oaxaca airport, I was so happy to sit back and relax on my (very small and somewhat frightening) plane to Guatemala City. Upon…

Bienvenue à ma chambre!
(In case you’re wondering, yes this title does translate literally to “Hello MTV and welcome to my crib!”) We’re nearing the end of my time in Paris (it’s fine, I’m fine, let’s not talk about it) so I figured I’d show you where the magic has happened this semester… Nights up until 4am working on…

Je doit le prononcer différemment (pas avec un son nasal mais avec un <<i>> très fort) pour s’intégrer au culture…

Fall Break Part 1: Greece
Here’s a recap of part 1 of my fall break! Part 2 (Italy) coming soon! Santorini After 8 weeks straight of school, I was in desperate need of an island vacation. The trip there included the RER, a shuttle to the airport, a flight, and a car ride, and as tight as the timing was,…

Parisian Chipotle
By Robin Boch Parisian Chipotle. These two words may not seem to fit together, but after eating Chipotle in Paris four times during my first two months here (yes, I am averaging at once every two weeks), I would beg to disagree. Who needs wine and cheese when you can have a burrito the size…
