Exiting the plane and entering once again into a new environment, I felt energized! This visit is not too far out of the country this time, as my destination for this adventure is the Great White North: Canada! To be more specific, I will be spending the next few…

My summer thus far has been quite rewarding. I have had the pleasure of working with students from all around the world coming to Los Angeles, and sharing my love of language learning with them. That being said, this summer has also been extremely busy for me. During my…

Here for the Summer

At the time of this post, it has been a little over a week since my return from France. I now find myself dedicated to staying in California for at the very least the duration of the summer. In one sense I am sad, since it feels a bit…

Stepping out of Fantasyland, I found my legs becoming tired. I decided to scout the area for something to eat. My venture led me to the Café Hyperion in Discoveryland. Walking through the doors of the Hyperion, (just under a large zeppelin), I was met with quite the spacious…

The other morning, my host family and I went on a walk in a nearby town: Crécy-la-Chapelle. I knew nothing about the place, so I was curious to see what it had to offer, and what new sights I would see. The walk started on a pathway between a…

The other day my host mother told me that if the weather was good, we would be going on a picnic during the weekend. I imagined it would be a typical picnic. At a simple park, with some food and some blankets. Well, there were food and blankets, but…

Bonjour, Paris!

I currently find myself in France, where I will be staying for most of the current month. I have the pleasure of staying with a host family who couldn’t be nicer, and am in close proximity to Paris. After a few days of settling into life in France, my…
