Nobody said it’d be easy.

Well. I’m finally ready to admit it (although those close to me already hear this constantly). I miss home. Like reeeally bad. I knew it’d be a struggle to move an ocean away from everyone I love but I never imagined it’d be this hard. Don’t get me wrong, I love Paris and don’t wishContinue reading “Nobody said it’d be easy.”

My birthday as a real life Princess

Words cannot express how wonderfully blessed I feel right now after the beautiful weekend that I had. It was completely surreal. I guess I’ll start at the beginning and tell the story of my 23rd birthday spent in Paris. It all began on Thursday when I received a HUGE package from my parents for myContinue reading “My birthday as a real life Princess”

Caution: “Piano Bar” does not mean the same thing in France as it does in the US

So tonight ends my second weekend here in Paris and I spent it with Tessa again. We had a wonderful time full of food, walks, scary movies and creepy men. Oh and a strip club. I guess I might as well explain that last sentence. Okay, so last weekend when Tessa came into the city,Continue reading “Caution: “Piano Bar” does not mean the same thing in France as it does in the US”

And right now they’re both in school and I’m justContinue reading “Getting attached”

My first weekend in Paris

I suppose I shall recap the wonderful first weekend that I had in Paris. To start things off, Tessa came into the city around noon on Saturday and from there we had a lovely time. The first thing we did was obviously the most touristy thing that you can do in Paris – we wentContinue reading “My first weekend in Paris”

A Day of Adventures

So, today was all about stepping outside of my comfort zone.. Although, I don’t really have a comfort zone, I kind of just love to explore. I mean look at what I’m doing now – a few months ago I decided I wanted to somehow come back to France and now I’m here living inContinue reading “A Day of Adventures”

An American Girl in Paris

Last I left you, I was moving to Africa. Well, that changed and as of today, I’ve moved my booty to Paris, France and will be spending the next year of my life as an au pair. Not gonna lie, I was terrified about the prospect of things going awry and up until 12 hoursContinue reading “An American Girl in Paris”
