One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Paris to study without speaking French. Meet my best friend there. Technically speaking I grew as human being, living, studying and working successfully for 3 years. I loved French culture and integrated it as a part of me. A little part of Paris is always there where I go. I had the amazing opportunity of spending a clandestine night, going across the true catacombes all beneath the city with friends who knew them by heart.
