9/23/2018 0 Comments Settling in to the cityI went exploring this past week throughout the city of Montreal to expand my horizons and check out fun things to do in the city. I learned there is an underground mall that is perfect for shopping and relieving stress. As well as a huge contemporary art museum that is free to students! I will try to walk around the city as much as possible within the next few weeks, because soon the weather will turn very cold.

I am a traveler... I am a student at the University of South Carolina... I am an exchange student... I am a student at the University of Quebec at Montreal... I am someone who likes adventure... and dogs... and coffee. I am a lover of life... I am a risk taker... I am excited to spend a year of my studies in Canada... Follow me through my study abroad journey. 9/4/2018 0 Comments Before ARRIVING in MontrealTo prepare to live in Canada, I spent months shopping for winter boots and sweaters. I took classes in France to aide my acquisition of the French language and I worked all summer to pay for my studies. However, I did not prepare for the feeling of utter loneliness that fell upon me as my parents drove me to Montreal. The realization that I would have to survive and succeed in a foreign country on my own hit me like a ton of bricks. As I rode into the country, it started to rain, which was an ironic comparison to how I was feeling. On one end, I was mourning the life and experiences that I was missing out on at my home university in South Carolina. However, another part of me was excited for what this new city and culture had to offer. I was and continue to be excited for what this International Student Exchange has in store for me.
