5 tips for traveling to Paris

If you follow me on Instagram (here!), then you are probably aware I spent the last 3 days in Paris. This entire trip (London & Paris) is my first time in Europe, so I’m a newbie for everything. These tips are 5 things I would recommend, as someone who did absolutely no planning  before this vacation (so unlike me, but hey.)

Without further delay; 5 Tips for Traveling to Paris:

1.) Learn some French before you go. It doesn’t have to be a lot, just enough to converse with your waiter, your uber driver, or anyone on the street. I speak Spanish and I wish I had at least picked up some solid French phrases before I left.

2.) This one should go without saying (and I was totally prepared), but make sure you wear comfortable shoes. We probably walked 7 miles a day, and it was wonderful. In my opinion it is the best way to see the city (and get exercise!)

3.) You don’t need to carry your passport with you. My US driver’s license worked just fine for identification in bars, clubs and restaurants. You don’t want to lose your passport, so keep it put away safely.

4.) See the Eiffel Tower both during the day and at night. It’s beautiful and totally worth it.

5.) If you’re anything like me and eat a ton of grilled chicken, make sure to order a chicken burger, otherwise they will call it grilled chicken but give you fried chicken on the bone. (I’m particular haha)

Anyways, those are the 5 things I thought of upon arriving back in London. Thanks so much for reading. I’ll be sharing outfits and tons more photos this week 🙂

PS. I’ve been wearing these Nike Roshe Run sneakers for probably 3 weeks straight (and all 3 days in Paris). Highly highly recommend.
