Bonjour everyone! Recently, my university in Lyon, France, had a week-long break at the end of February. I used that opportunity to visit Paris with my friend Josh, who is also from Mizzou and studying abroad at the same university as me! When a lot of people think of France, they almost immediately think of…

I have been in Bergen for about a month now, and it has been an adventure already. Getting settled into Bergen was difficult at first, with having to quarantine when entering Norway, but it has been good. I have eight roommates in total. One of them is actually from Mizzou, so it has been really…

Stepping off the plane in Rome, I was finally able to relax. For the past 10 days, I had been fairly unsure about when, if ever, I would be able to arrive in Italy. My issues began when, two days before my flight was supposed to leave, the Italian Consulate in Chicago had still failed…
