I grew up near San Francisco with two brothers and two sisters. Traveling has always been my favorite thing to do. It had been my dream since I was a high school student to travel abroad to study. So, naturally, during my senior year, I applied to the American University of Paris and when I was accepted, I did not hesitate committing to attending university in France. When I arrived, I immediately was exposed to a culture that was foreign to me. The food, the language, the history, the people were exactly what I was hoping for and more.
While American women go for coffee in Lululemon pants, don't expect to see Parisian women looking like they're dressed for the gym — unless they're at the gym.
