Vidya's Blog — Bookpackers™

Hello! My name is Vidya Iyer (they/them) and I am a rising junior studying environmental engineering at USC! I am so grateful to be on this trip, and to be able to read two seminal pieces of classical literature in the cities they are set in. I am so excited to explore both Paris and London, especially the different diasporic communities and ethnic enclaves in both cities, especially Tamil communities. I am also planning to visit formative locations of modern science and art, like the Royal Society, Marie Curie’s laboratory, the Musee D’Orsay, and more! Follow along with my adventures in my blog posts, and thank you for reading!
