Here's a little excerpt I wrote about my journey over the last three months:

Restlessness. That's what got me here. Alone. 5,674 miles away from any friends or family. I was bored of the mundanity of my day to day life and was hungry for adventure. I wanted to mix things up and so naturally, I decided to move to a foreign country on my own. I took a leave of absence from my university (but enrolled as a full time online student through a cc because you know...education is important...), bought a plane ticket, and arrived in Paris with no real plans or
contacts. Three months later, I feel like I have changed immensely and am grateful to have amassed a life time of memories. It has been a struggle of learning to be completely independent as well as confident in exploring and traversing across a city by myself where I don't even speak the language. I knew no one, except for the family that I was staying with, and had no real way of meeting people but slowly made the raddest friends through the oddest of circumstances. I will forever be grateful for my time here and this leap into the unknown. I have completely fallen in love with this city and will miss it terribly but I will be back soon. Maybe restlessness isn't so bad after all.

(please excuse the annoying black bars and my bed head)

p.s. FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS. SERIOUSLY. GO. DO IT NOW.
