Autumn shades at my favorite florist in town @larr

Being an expat is, in so many ways, incredible. Bu $Being an expat is, in so many ways, incredible. But it can be incredibly hard too. I’ve missed so many weddings living here, so many babies, so many things I couldn’t go back for. Funerals included. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don’t ever forget how much more there is going on behind the scenes of these pretty lives you follow on Instagram. It’s only a fraction of our real stories. I try to share beautiful and fun things and avoid the darkness, as there is so much darkness in our world already. But perhaps by speaking about it, I might shed a little light for someone who needs it. Nothing is guaranteed- work, friendships, even life itself. So once in awhile, if you just have to step away and go watch a sunset, do it. What really matters will be there afterwards. And know that if you’re going through a rough or weird time right now, you’re not alone. ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸@leahtravels #glitteringparis #instagramvsreality #behindthescenes #parisienne #parisjetaime$

About Me

Hi, I'm Emily! Storyteller and endlessly curious, I love to travel but I also love getting to know the heart of a city. Since 2014, I've called Paris home and have learned the ins and outs of the city, as well as exploring around Europe. Here I share my favorite discoveries, expat and visitor advice, and photo diaries from my travels.
