Europe Work Study Journal: Paris (and Strasbourg)

Hello, it’s been a while. The last few months have been crazy for me, as I’ve been busy with the hiring process for a new job! (I can’t say where because it’s not officially official yet, but hopefully it is soon!)

I also recently returned from a work study in France and Spain through San José State University. Led by renowned transportation and urban planner Eric Eidlin and with a group of other professionals and students, we studied transit and urban planning concepts in Paris, Strasbourg, Lyon, Barcelona, Zaragoza, and Madrid over two weeks.

Most of my writings in the coming months will be about the highlights of what I learned on this trip and how it could possibly be applied here in America. I’m going to start with a four-part series of articles, just briefly going over the highlights and biggest takeaways from each leg of the trip. After that, I plan to write more articles focusing on more specific topics.

I’ll kick things off by talking about the first leg of our trip in Paris (with a day trip to Strasbourg).
