5 Things I Learned While Studying Abroad + YouTube Channel

Hello everyone! I know it's been a while since I last posted a blog post on here and to be honest with you, I've been having a case of writer's block. Since it's been two years since I went to France things aren't as fresh in my head which is contributing to me having a hard time coming up with new blog posts. For that reason I've decided to come up with a YouTube channel! I will be creating short 5 minute videos about various subjects pertaining to study abroad.

MICEFA the movie

You all know by now that both Orlando and I went through MICEFA. We both really happy with MICEFA and their staff so I've decided to share their video with you today. It was crazy to see Melissa and Dr. Prodeau in the video, just seeing them interact with the students in the video made me remember the first month in Paris so vividly. Let's just say this video should make anyone who studied abroad in Paris miss it like crazy, but if you'll be leaving to Paris soon then this should pump you up (or at least make you giddy).

Let me tell you, it's not easy to pack for 10 months when you have no idea what you should take, but consider yourselves lucky because I am here to share my tips! You'll be learning from all my packing mistakes. I'll be sharing my tips for year long students but if you're only going for a semester feel free to use this as a rough guide.
