What I wish I knew before moving to Paris

Feeling nostalgic lately reflecting on the impact Paris has made in my life and all the things I have learned since living here! I hope this helps some of you who are deciding to move here or just want to hear how my journey has been 🫶🏽

you could be a writer! i love the way you speak, your descriptions are so colorful :)

[@Featherlicht]

Love you eloquence. You also are naturally warm. 😊

[@charlesblack1086]

Thank you. I loved this video! As a Francophile who pictures himself someday living in Paris it was so refreshing to hear the real and the ideal put so plainly. Also your hopeful ending still gives me the belief that somehow it may happen. Living in New York I'm used to bustling crowds but the nuances of making French friends and navigating the complication of paperwork give one pause to ponder. I look forward to discovering more of your videos.

What University in Paris did you attend?

[@lavinder11]

Idk. I've been in Paris for years and I find them to be incredibly unfashionable. See plenty of French wearing yoga pants and sone even in PJs.

[@azizpunkmetal]

Let's be serious : beautiful parisian mess or not, you would give everythin' you got to definitely go back to Nice, right ?

[@WhereTianaTravels]

Haha i’m thinking about it, i can’t lie 🙃
