Bonjour! (Hello!) My name is Isabela and I am currently living in the capital of France: Paris. You might recognize “The City of Love” (as it's commonly known) if you watched the Disney movie Montecarlo with Selena Gomez. Before I tell you about my experience and how I ended up in this magical city, I’ll give you a little background on who I am.
I’m 19 years old and grew up in Bogota, Colombia down in South America. I have an older brother named Andres, and we are obsessed with soccer. My favorite player is Lionel Messi and I love watching soccer games on the TV with my friends. My first language is Spanish, and my country has no seasons. If you like soccer, you might know Colombian players James Rodriguez or Falcao, and if you like music, you might know Shakira or J Balvin.
I go to college in the U.S. in New Hampshire. I attend Dartmouth College and I’m majoring in economics and government. In other words, I read a lot about politics and do a lot of math. I am also learning French and, thus, decided to come to Paris. By traveling I have learned a lot about different cultures and how traditions vary across countries. I’m really excited and can’t wait to share some of my experiences with all of you!
