I've been living in a hostel the last couple of days while looking for an apartment, and I'm surprised how relaxed I feel about being around strangers and how simple things like sharing the same room makes you feel closer together. I didn't spend much time with them, other than eating dinners together and going for a walk. But the little moments when Camille, Helene and Alice shared their french culinary secrets with me made me realize how much I needed to come out of my shell and reach out to people once in a while. It is so completely wort it!
