Bonjour mes amis et ma famille!
In less than a week, I head off for Switzerland! I will be living and studying in Lausanne, a picturesque lake town settled on a hill overlooking Lake Geneva (or Lac Leman). It's French-speaking country there, and I am trying to prepare myself for some major culture shock as well as a language barrier (speed of speech especially).
This blog will be updated as I journey through Europe, and will also include photos, videos, and any other relevant information that you may want to know as you track me during my year abroad. As you can see, I've included a couple of weekly features, links to picture albums, and various daily 'life in Lausanne' stories on the side column of this page, and the longer posts will cover my weekend trips for the most part.
I am looking forward to hearing what you too are doing, because we all know that life in the States is exciting too, and every day presents its own challenges, triumphs, and stories that I would enjoy hearing from you.
Hope you get the chance to check out this blog every once and a while!
