- Go to a Mcdonalds. Most people would say "Really? You're in Paris and you went to McDonalds?" Well I have a few responses for these people. A) It's super cheap. I'm a poor uni student. B) There will always be reliable free wifi (which is surprisingly scarce in foreign countries) and C) There are different items on the menu, and I find that funny (Like what, there's more than two flavors of McFlurries?)
- Get your Tinder on. Yes, I'm obviously on Tinder, who isn't nowadays?? And yes, no-shame I have convinced all my friends here to join as well. Hey, it's entertaining! Also, boys and free compliments. Anyways, who wouldn't want a diverse list of matches? It's a great way to practice a different language (French) or "help" an incredibly hot foreign boy with his english. Via text, of course, because meeting up with foreign tinder boys is a bit sketchy. So, swipe away!
- Buy something touristy. Tacky gifts are a must be it for yourself or others. It's an easy way to remember where you were/ where you got said item. For example, an Eiffel Tower keychain is obviously from Brussels, like, duh!
- Go see some church. Take a picture of it. Your mom will appreciate it.
- Try the local candies/Sodas. By "Local" I do not mean sketchy homemade ones, I mean country-wise. Seriously though Fanta here is so much better than in 'Merica
- Talk to other Americans. I have found people in many places of the world that have heard of and/or been to Simsbury, CT. Crazy, right? Small world. (I apologize for now getting "Small World" stuck in your head.)
In conclusion (gross, how formal), there are many things you should do whilst abroad. If you want to live the Olivia way (Or should I say, if you want to 'Liv') then definitely do these things. You wont regret it.
Here's me and my friend Alexis in Amsterdam.
