Paris is, hands down, one of my absolute favorite places on earth. It was the one of the first European cities Mustafa and I explored on our own when we moved to London in 2018. The charm of little Parisian cafes, the rich and delicious sounding french language, the buttery soft croissants at every corner, all of it has been an obsession ever since. This was our first time back to mainland Europe since the pandemic began and it was absolutely one of the best feelings in the world to be able to walk the streets of Paris, shop along the Avenue Montaigne and the Champs-Élysées while sipping on cappuccinos. We spent the late evenings hopping on the Lime scooters and rolling through the side of the Seine next to the glittering Eiffel Tower.
I cannot believe that the last time I was in Paris was in 2019. I feel like I have lived a million lifetimes and gone through so much since then.
