France

The country of romance beckons! So was my impression of the country alongside its rich culinary scene and abundant castles dating to centuries past. The language itself is a culture on its own, yet ironically it never manifested to me that I should learn it until I got there. I quickly understood why, and it had nothing to do with the local’s ability with English. It is more about immersing into a society with traditions so deep that I wished nothing but to pay respect.

I was told that most of the world’s perspective of France is only what’s found in Paris. I must agree after having ventured to a few cities besides the capital. The other regions have their own charm worthy of visits, so never limit yourself when exploring this huge country.
