I co-oped in Paris for 6 months at a firm that was located no more than 5 blocks from the Eiffel Tower. I feel as if I have been living in a dream filled with amazing opportunities. I have had the chance to experience a plethora of things including: site visits to amazing cities and villages, camping at week-long concerts, standing at the finish line for the Tour de France, attending matches of the Rugby World Cup and meeting people from all over the world. In addition, not only have I been able to live it up with the Parisian nightlife [nothing like it exists anywhere else in the world], but I have seen buildings and sites that I have only before read about in books. I have also had the chance to feel what it is like to live in a glorified closet at the top of a 5-story single-person winding staircase that in no way meets any existing fire safety codes... but all in all, I have woken up every morning into a fantasy world and never want to go to sleep for fear of loosing it. I can now truly say that i am living my dream.
