Welcome! Bienvenue!

Hello everyone!

No matter how you found yourself on my travel blog I thought I’d do a little intro post just to introduce myself. My name is Caitlyn and I’m studying International Business at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada. My program has a compulsory third year travel component in which you travel to a country and learn in the language you have been studying in years 1 and 2.

For most this would seem daunting, but as most new things I can’t wait. My travel Visa arrived in the mail yesterday which pretty much seals the deal now, making my trip a go! My last exam is tomorrow morning and after that it’s off to buying plane tickets. The excitement is starting to build as I begin packing up my belongings and I become that much closer to stepping on a plane. 

I’ll be spending the next year of my life in Brussels, Belgium and hopefully exploring Europe while I’m over there. I have not traveled internationally (besides the US) before so this is a brand new experience for me in many aspects. 

Luckily I have an amazing support system at home to keep me grounded. Hopefully this travel blog will be an easy way to have a peek at my travels and what I’ve been up to!
