Bonjour and welcome to this little corner of the internet where PhD life, little (language) mishaps, and train adventures collide. I'm a curious mind currently doing a PhD in Switzerland, navigating the beautiful little of Geneva as a non-francophone and trying to keep my existential crises at bay (mostly with caffeine and sarcasm). Here, you’ll find thoughts on academic life, reflections on living in my home country and still feeling like a stranger, and the occasional tale of my awkward-yet-entertaining encounters on Swiss trains and beyond. It’s part research survival, part cultural adventure, and a whole lot of “did that really just happen?” Stick around—I promise not to correct your French. I’m still working on mine.
