My name is Emily, so choosing Paris for my Erasmus exchange felt like a no-brainer๐
Honestly, there hasnโt been a single day when I havenโt thought about Paris. Some people might say I canโt move on, that I live in the past. But those 3.5 months felt so surreal that itโs hard to forget.
As an Indonesian girl, studying in Paris was something I wouldnโt even dare to dream of.
When I was bored, I could visit the Louvre. I could walk to Notre-Dame. I would just stroll around with no destination in mind. Paris is a city that rewards curiosity. Talk to people. Ditch TikTok and just wander around. Discover places you never expected to find.
I met people from all over the world: Peru, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, and so many more. Every conversation opened my eyes, so ask questions and make friends. ๐๐ค
Most importantly, take lots of pictures. Oh, and get the raclette sandwich from the Christmas market. Trust me on that one. ๐ง๐ฅโจ
