Geneva and My Introduction to Multilateral Diplomacy

After a few months of waiting and anxiety, I arrived in Geneva in early July. This was my first visit to the city. While living in London, I was too busy to travel in Europe during my holidays; they were spent on studying, writing papers, and preparing for exams. I had taken my mother and my youngest aunt—my favorite—for short trips to Paris, and my cousin, who was studying in Paris, and I visited Italy for a few days. So, Geneva was new to me.
