Why this exists

I came for one semester abroad and never left.

After I graduated I packed my bags and moved back for good. This guide is everything I wish someone had handed me before I got here, down to the little things you only learn once you’ve lived somewhere.

Whether it’s your first trip with your best friends, your solo era, a semester abroad, or you’re finally using that Pinterest board, this is how to do Paris right.
