Life in Aix is busier than expected. Between work and school, the week is extremely busy, and time continues to fly exponentially. My internship is with a small company called Planet Provence, which offers customized & private luxury tours to discover Provence and Corsica. My job consists of helping create private wine tour packages, writing and designing the website for English-speaking viewers, and connecting English-speaking tourists to Planet Provence. From gourmet cooking classes to week immersions themed around wine, dining, and historical siting, the company has a lot to offer. The newest project we’ve been working on is Discover Wine, where customers can purchase wines that Brice (my boss) has collected from a variety of vineyards around the region (shipping is now available to those living in the U.S.). Overall, it’s great to see the work that Emily (another student intern) and I have contributed to the company from the beginning of the semester.
Although work and school have been a bit tedious, spring break starts after this upcoming week. I’ve never been to Portugal, so visiting Lisbon and Porto with two close friends from high school should be a cool experience.
Unfortunately, I have yet to see live music here in Europe; that’s the next mission…
