Hi there! 👋 Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I’m Rishita, a 23-year-old management student from the prestigious IIM Lucknow, currently living my dream of studying abroad at Toulouse Business School in the beautiful city of Toulouse, France. 🌍📚

Why this blog?
Well, moving halfway across the world is exciting, but let’s be honest—it can also be a whirlwind of challenges, emotions, and lessons you never knew you needed to learn. This blog is my way of documenting that rollercoaster while connecting with other dreamers, explorers, and students navigating their own paths.

A bit about me:
I’ve always been curious about the world—its people, cultures, and the stories that shape us. Growing up in India, I developed a deep love for diversity, and that passion led me to explore life beyond my comfort zone. Whether it’s through managing projects in class, sampling cuisines I can’t pronounce, or trying to navigate daily life in a foreign language (bonjour, ça va?), I thrive on the thrill of discovery.

What you’ll find here:
🌟 Travel Diaries: From weekend trips across Europe to hidden gems in Toulouse, I’ll share my adventures, travel tips, and the joy of exploring new places.
🌟 Cultural Curiosities: Learning to embrace French customs, experiencing their festivals, and discovering what makes life in France so enchanting.
🌟 Survival Skills: Let’s face it—living away from home for so long is no small feat. I’ll share insights on budgeting, making friends, cooking for yourself (yes, instant noodles are not the answer), and dealing with homesickness.
🌟 Student Life Abroad: From coursework at TBS to navigating group projects with classmates from around the globe, I’ll share my academic experiences and lessons learned along the way.

My goal is to make this space a mix of inspiration, practical advice, and a virtual hug for anyone who feels a little lost (or super excited!) about studying or living abroad.

Well hop on for this wonderful journey ahead!
