Paris is full of sites and opportunities to explore a city unlike no other. We set a big agenda out for ourselves to do everything super touristy that we could, and to see the main must sees on our list. Our first stop was the Louvre. We bought tickets ahead of time online, thinking this …
Waking up bright and early this morning, one would expect we would explore the beautiful city of Paris, but we decided that it was essential to visit the Champagne region to experience the world’s finest. It’s only been in the last year or so that I’ve been turned on to champagne, primarily because of my …
We packed up our bags this morning, headed through our traboules to the train station, ready for our final destination: Paris! The train ride was a mere two hours, and with a baguette and cheese, the journey went rather quickly. Leaving the train station behind in a furry, we were ready to walk into the …
Ready to explore Lyon, we woke up, bought a few groceries for an early lunch, and set out on foot. Walking through the beautiful graffitied streets, we saw many squares, cathedrals, and monuments, before arriving at our first destination, Parc de la Tête D’Or. This urban park covers around 290 acres and features a stunning …
This morning we woke up to the beautiful sun shining through and finally gracing us with it’s presence in Nice. Of course, this was also the day that we were leaving Nice, so needless to say, the weather in Nice wasn’t so nice. Had the rain stopped for more than five minutes, I think we …
…I lost my friend, my comic relief, my dad. This past year has been the hardest of my life with uncontrollable emotional outbursts and continual flashbacks, but I’m learning to cope.

This morning we awoke to another gloomy forecast for Nice. Rain, rain, and more rain. After seeing the main sites of the city yesterday, we made a last minute decision to venture into the country of Monaco! We took a quick 30 minute walk to the train station and 20 minutes later arrived in Monaco! …
Awakening bright and early at 530, we quickly got our things organized and headed to the Bordeaux airport for our flight to Nice. Around an hour or so later, we arrived in the rainy city, ready to check in and begin our exploring. We strolled through the narrow streets of Vieille Ville, surrounded by bright …
Bordeaux has topped the best city to visit in 2017, and I couldn’t agree more! What a remarkable introduction to France and a simply gorgeous city and more than one way. On Friday, we planned to get up early to explore all that Bordeaux had to offer, but an alarm malfunction, and a late sleep …
Longest shopping strip in Europe, France’s oldest museums with World War II displays, highest number of preserved historical buildings outside of Paris, and the world’s major wine industry… I must be talking about Bordeaux! We boarded the train from San Sebastián for our three hour journey into France. Easily navigable, we stopped for a quick …
