I was extremely young when my neighbor and friend Michelle received this big box that consisted of French flash cards. I remember thinking how cool it was and how I also wanted to learn with her. We use to speak about how Paris was our dream and how beautiful the language is. Ever since then it has been a dream of mine to enter the world of Paris even if it was only for a day or two. This past weekend one of my dreams came true. I will admit I was a bit nervous. I heard negative things about Paris, about how the people were rude, or there is no night life, it's boring. UMMM Wrong. I think whoever thinks this way did not indulge in the culture well enough. It's not about what country you can party the hardest in. My friends and I woke up at 8AM and did not return to our hotel till 11PM from walking. We purchased metro passes and it was for nothing because were were so mesmerized by the beauty of the city that we chose to bruise our feet and walk everywhere. We regret NOTHING. We took any opportunity we had to speak their language and try their food. We felt nothing but welcomed.
Paris was everything and more! Unfortunately I was not feeling 100%, I had a cold and could barely breath, but I did not let that stop me . I really wanted to capture all I experienced in Paris so I tried taking as many pictures and videos as I could for myself and to share with you all. I want to inspire you and motivate you to leave your comfort zone.

Check out Paris Landmark tours and The Latin Quarter tour
Another must do: A boat tour at night along the river!

-My friends and I went to the famous Love Lock Bridge. It was a beauty to see how a bridge was covered by locks of different shapes, sizes, and color. We saw lovers on the bridge locking their love to the bridge. You can sense the romance everywhere.
-Had a very French Brunch! Pictures are here!
- Visited the largest museum ever! Du Louvre!
- Had a very French Dinner near the Eiffel Tower! ( Escargo)
- We went up the Eiffel Tower as it lit up the sky! Afterwards we picked a lovely spot on the grass where we sat, drank wine, and just admired the beautiful view in front of us!
-Lastly, we explored the Moulin Rouge area!
This trip really brought my friends and I closer together! As we experienced so many crazy things in Paris. I hope you enjoy the videos and pictures!
