Two Hundred and Twenty Three Days

Hello!
(If anyone is even out there)
I am Briana. I am nineteen (twenty in two months and twelve days), and I have just embarked on the journey of a lifetime, (or so I am being told continuously.)

So, if my best friend Chelsea's calculations are correct(and if they're not I'm not changing my blog name! I like the ring to it :) ), I am in France for two hundred and twenty three days.
Alone.
Well, not really alone. Without my family and friends.
Hopefully, I will make friends that turn into my family soon enough.

You may ask, if you did not know already. What is Briana doing in France for so long?! Doesn't she have school  or a job to attend?
For everyone that knows me, knows that I had a pretty nice set up. Nice family, nice boyfriend, nice job, good grades etc. But as many people my age feel, school was getting old. The same old routine was getting old. So I have stopped (or put on hold) everything that  I ever knew. Everything that was familiar to me. I jumped on a plane to France to pursue a passion.
I am in France to hopefully turn my huge passion for baking into something more productive. So I am studying at Gastronomicom (www.gastronomicom.fr) the French language along side pastry.
This blog is basically going to be used to keep everyone I know (that is interested in knowing about me!) updated on how I am surviving over here, what I am doing, what I am making (lots of pictures to come hopefully!), as well as where I am going.

Here's a little sneak peak of the area that I am staying in!



This is Cap d'Adge, near Montpellier, France. (*** South of France! )
These pictures were taken today on a two hour walk with my roommate exploring our little town.

  3. Great idea Beez, to blog your adventure to Cap d'Agde. I love the fact that we can follow you through words and pictures and feel like we are participating, to some extent, in your journey. Post more pictures of the scenery and your culinary creations when you have some time. Love, Mumma XOXOXO
