Beginning

My summer in Aix-en-Provence, France.

With this blog I hope to share my travels with friends and family wherever I go.

Before I begin my travels, I must first get myself prepared. I've never been gone more the two weeks before, nor have I ever gone by myself, so this experience is brand new to me.

This month has been nothing but crazy. Everything is changing. My amazing boyfriend, Brandon, graduated from college, we moved from a place that has been home to us for more then 2 years and I leave to study abroad to work towards my dream of becoming a teacher. With so much changing I've learned I need to accept change and that although it may bring a lot of unknowns, it will all be worth it in the end.

Since I have never traveled out of the country on my own before, I am a little nervous. I am scared of leaving my home behind and all that is normal to me but I am also excited by what this journey may bring. I am looking forward to returning to Aix from the first time I visited 10 years ago, when I first fell in love with the city. Although I am going to study, am I also going to experience and enjoy the wonderful culture of Aix.


Love,
Nikki
