ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteYour article on an expat living in France was very interesting. I did not know that Lille was so close to Belgium (that is where my daughter studied in her junior year of high school. She loved it there because it was also French speaking and the people were so very nice (host families). She was very fluent in French and wanted so badly to live in a French speaking country but she still had college and a master's degree to get.
She experienced the same things you speak about...Loneliness, homesickness, friends, family and of course American food.
I think you are very brave and I admire your fortitude and courage.
Kris
