So we all know the longing for the airport experience again since life drastically changed due to the coronavirus pandemic. Even though all my travel plans this year (and until further notice) have been canceled, I was fortunate to have been able to take a dream trip last year to Paris.

Even though I’ve been traveling since I was a few months old (shout out to my mom and St. Thomas!), this was my first intercontinental trip…and I was doing it solo. After a few weeks of Duolingo training (which did not withstand contact with actual French-speaking people), I hopped on a plane with a backpack, a camera and a list of places I had only read about that I needed to see with my own eyes in the five days I’d be in the city.

I shot a ridiculous amount of footage and due to that (plus procrastination, but that’s besides the point) I finally got an edit together of my experience at The Louvre. Check out the video and let me know what you think in the comments!
