When People Don’t Support Your Dreams

4 March 2012

I still vividly remember waiting outside her office. Somehow I’d gotten the idea that getting my masters in France was my next big move but I didn’t know how to get from Pennsylvania to Paris. I’d asked one of my university advisors who referred me to an old professor I’d had when I’d just begun [...]

So I bet you didn’t know…

28 February 2012

A couple of months ago, I was “tagged” in a blog post by The Wanderfull Traveller, a fellow professional art lover, world traveler, and regularly commenter here at La Belle in France. The idea is to share 10 things about myself I bet you wouldn’t have necessarily guessed. So here we go…. 10. I love [...]

Penn State Pride in Paris

12 November 2011

In light of current events back home, I think it’s important that I share something with you that’s been on my mind everyday this last week.

I’m here!

21 August 2011

Yes, my belle readers! I have arrived! I am finally based out of Paris and will be here, sharing the highs and lows of my adventures, for the next year to come and then some! This last week was filled with trips to BHV, the markets and exploring my environs. I’m almost finished unpacking, transforming [...]

The Path to Paris

15 August 2011

Expats in France are often asked two questions: “How did you get there?” which is usually soon followed by “How long do you have?” The curiosity is understandable. France has captured the heart of many dreamers each hoping to secure their place in a foreign country, and no expat fully shares the journey of another. [...]
