Many people talk about traveling, and how they'd like to go off and experience different lifestyles, customs, and languages. Even if you have not gone far, you can read about how traveling is often a life changing experience and provides insight that leaves you being a more open minded and well rounded person.
But when it comes to traveling, there are those who talk, and those that do.

Luckily, with the help of St. John's, I was able to make my dream of traveling a reality, and I got the chance to study abroad in Paris for a semester.

As time went on, I got used to the city and the language and learned my way around. Even as apprehensive as I felt before moving to France, I felt right at ease within weeks. I began to finish my homework as early possible so I could explore on my own.

Because sometimes you may realize you like it better that way.

I learned about different religions, and got to see some of the most beautiful architecture in the world.
