As promised every Friday I will do a flashback from someones life. This week I am flashing back to when I was abroad. I studied abroad in Athens Greece but did many weekend trips. One of the weekend trips was to one of my favorite cities in the world, Paris. And let me tell you, we were taking selfies with the Eiffel Tower before the #selfie was cool.
I went to Paris with a girl I met in my program and became great friends with. She and I ventured off to Paris on our own for the weekend and explored the city. Even though I had already been to Paris, she had not so I wanted her to get the full experience of seeing all of the landmarks. Plus, last time I had been to Paris, I was with my parents, not on my own budget, so this trip was way different. We did everything by public transportation and stayed in a crappy hotel. None of that mattered, it was snowing outside and that didn't matter either. We were just happy enjoying ourselves and exploring the city. We got lost on the underground once or twice. We went shopping in the hippie district as well as on the Champs - Élysées. It was such a great time. We went to Shakespeare book store, the Arc-de-triomph, the Louvre the Eiffel Tower, my favorite museum the musee d'orsay and so much more.
Overall my strong belief is that everyone should study abroad, it opened my eyes to so many things and forced me to grow as a person. It also added to my love of travel. Below are some of my favorite pictures from the trip to paris...
Oh, and one of my many Starbucks mugs from my collection...
Enjoy life and live it to the fullest. That was my flashback friday, who wants to share theirs next?
until next time... xoxo J
