Hello Soupers!

So, the good news! I am super excited that I finally got my internship! I now work at Restaurant Les Tournesols at The Best Western Saphir Lyon Hotel. It was the most intense interview I have ever been in, and it all happened in one day.

Hello Soupers!

First thing's first. I am finally in a flat and no longer worrying where I will sleep at night. It’s a very nice place and a pretty good sized house. My room is a little, cozy space in the loft. Really just somewhere for me to put my head down at night, but it’s not like I need a huge room.

Why do we travel? We want to escape. Learn. Relax. We want to experience life differently than the everyday. We want to take the time to nurture ourselves; alone or with loved ones, and meet strangers who don’t know anything about us at all. It’s a chance to get away from our habitual patterns; to experience new or hidden territory within, the great unknown and unexplored or just untended tender parts of ourselves in a fun way, reflected by a bigger world.

Hi Soupers,

I’m  Coty Pate, and I am going to Lyon, France to do my Culinary Internship. At least I hope I am as I came here without a job or a place to stay really.

Not to provide too much detail, but I am a student at the International School of the Culinary Arts and part of our program is to do an internship in a working restaurant. I thought it would be fun to do this in France. After all, isn’t France the home of the culinary arts? It is a bit risky, but we will see.
