Introduction

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog site! If you've ventured on here, it's probably because you've expressed some interest in following me in my travels as I journey to spend this summer in Nice, France. I look forward to spending the next six weeks in a city in southeastern France, living and fully immersing myself in the French culture and language. Many of you likely know that I was accepted into a program back in November called France for the Pre-Med. Check out the original article on the Hope College website in order to learn more about this unique experience.

I am so excited to be spending the next six weeks in France, and I hope that you are willing to follow me along on this journey. I will try my best to blog regularly about my adventures. I received a brand spanking new digital camera for my birthday last week, so I will make sure to snap lots of pictures of the beautiful French Rivera, so it's almost as it you are there with me.

As I depart from the United States, I would like to ask for your continued support and prayers. Many of you have played either a direct or indirect role in helping inspire me to embark on this adventure. I cannot hardly wait until I return and am able to share stories with you.

As they say in France, Bon voyage!
