Marseille, France

I lived in Marseille, France during the months of May, June and July in 2015. I went there to do an internship with an organization called Les Petits Frères des Pauvres, a non-profit that finds isolated elderly people and provides them with friendship and social activities. It was one of the most peaceful, perfect times of my life. I spent the summer talking with very interesting seniors, swimming in the Calanques, and spending nearly every spare minute with my amazing friend Jared Ramirez.

Jared, Kevin (another intern), and I also traveled to Rome for a weekend. My mother came to visit me and tour Provence for a week. And my little sister Jenna and I backpacked for 3 weeks all around the country, from Paris to Normandy to Toulouse to Marseille to Grenoble to Annecy to Geneva.

Here are a few of my favourite posts:
