1 Day Pre-Departure

One day before I leave I am finishing packing and somehow have fit my life into a ski bag, a duffle bag, and a backpack! Packing like this reminds me of my trip to Mt. Hood Oregon three years ago. My flight leaves tomorrow afternoon, and I will arrive in Geneva the next morning. Below is a map of where I will be staying in Lausanne Switzerland:

I will be studying at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) where I will be taking bioengineering classes in english and humanities classes in french.

Getting ready to leave for Switzerland I feel a bit nervous, but more so excited for what lies ahead. I am excited to improve my french, meet people from all over the world, ski the alps, and travel throughout Europe. I hope that while spending 6 months in another country I will learn both more about myself and the world around me.

    It's amazing how you fit your entire life into only three bags! I honestly can't believe that is even possible. I am excited to follow your blogs and more so excited to learn about you and the world around you!

    I'd be nervous too! Make sure to wear protection! A helmet is pretty important when skiing the alps Mark!

    So cool! I'm jealous. My "study abroad" was an 8 week project in Washington DC. Have fun!
