Special City Paris..

What a special city Paris is. The history in all that surrounds me is something breathtaking and rich. I connect and feel very comfortable in Paris. Many times others feel overwhelmed or in fear of something bad happening when visiting a city so far from home, but I truly feel at home. I enjoy walking to places or taking the subways. No one is worried about another; they are all just traveling to their next destination. I enjoy the simplicity of the culture in Paris, from the subtleness of the way they speak, the simplicity yet sharpness of their outfits or the simple way they greet others with a kiss on each cheek, its all so special.

Although I’m so used to having nice big grocery stores, I think it is vey important to take myself out of my element. I am grateful for this experience because this has shown me that I should never be in fear of experience something new, such as moving to another country. There is so much that exists that is so special and powerful that many don’t get the chance to encounter because of fear of the unknown. What a treat it will be if I was able to experience this everyday, maybe Paris will be my next home!
