I’m Moving to France!
Now that my visa has arrived and everything is officially official… I am super excited to share that I’m moving to France in under a week! This seriously seems surreal to write, especially since I’m leaving my career progress, family members, and friends in the U.S. Plus… Ever heard of COVID-19? Even though I know…

May 2019 Life Updates
I’m back with some fun life updates! When I last posted, I was finishing up my semester in Paris, which flew by to say the least. After my Barcelona/Lisbon trip, I went to London, took my finals, went to Strasbourg, and hit some of the last Paris spots on my bucket list. While the semester was…

Picnic by the Seine Macarons (Ladurée and Pierre Hermé) Palais Royal Walk down Blvd St Germain See the Mona Lisa and other artwork at the Louvre Versailles Saint Chapelle…

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…

Barcelona, Spain

Thanksgiving in Paris
Thanksgiving traditions have always been pretty chill in my family, but they’ve also become very important over the years. Drumstick Dash 5k in the morning, followed by a grocery store run to grab a Starbucks peppermint mocha and Black Friday ads, trying to watch the Macy’s parade but falling asleep instead, and eating, eating, eating.…

Day Trips in France
When I found out that I would be spending the semester in Paris, I knew I wanted to travel, but not just around Europe. In order to really immerse myself in French culture, I knew it would be necessary to visit other parts of France and not just stay in Paris the whole time. Here’s…

Je m’Appelle Robin
La première fois que je m’introduit en français à Sciences Po, immédiatement, j’étais rejetée. <<Bonjour, je m’appelle Robin…>> <<Non! C’est masculin. Tu dois utiliser Robin(e) ici, pour être féminin>> Alors, mon nom n’était pas correct? Je doit le prononcer différemment (pas avec un son nasal mais avec un <<i>> très fort) pour s’intégrer au culture…

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…
