Story time! It was January of 2017 and I was an almost-college-grad with a big dream that I was determined to see through: moving abroad to start a new chapter of my life in France. Several logistical road bumps & many visa struggles later, I made it happen!

Yep, that’s right. In July of 2017, I packed my bags and headed to the quaint city of Poitiers, France. It was a year that changed my life and, ultimately, reaffirmed my original desire to move. #noragrets

Today, I’m still just a Palestinian-American girl figuring it out and living the “broké”-bitch-life (abroad). A twenty something-year-old optimistic cynic, lover of new cultures and self-care addict, I hope to share some if my favorite moments and some of my biggest personal struggles. Above all, I want to show you that, although moving to France might not always be a walk on the Champs-Elysées (haha), it really is worth it. As Edith Piaf once said: Je ne regrette rien !
