On September 13th, I celebrated my 7 year annivers

On September 13th, I celebrated my 7 year anniversary of living in this glorious, difficult city- well, celebrated is a strong word, as the last few weeks have been quite full on work-wise and free time has been rarely available.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So even though it’s a week late, here are 8 photos, one from each calendar year I’ve lived in Paris. I’ve grown up in this city, in so many different ways (I mean, just look at my editing abilities!), and while living here hasn’t been easy, it has certainly been worth it. Here’s to the next year, Paris- let’s see what we can do ✨

The heat finally decided to make an appearance in Paris after an unusually cool summer- normally I’d be all for it, but I’m kinda ready to move on to boots and blazers and all the fall colors. Has fall arrived yet where you guys are or is summer still holding on?

The world is made of broken things piecing themsel

The world is made of broken things piecing themselves back together- this is what gives us the most resilient stories. So why do you think that you were built any differently than the night and the stormclouds? You know how to put yourself back together again too, just as well as they do.

The most picturesque storefront in Saint Paul de Vence ✨ next time I’m here I’ll be paying a visit to @maisongodet and hopefully walking out with one of their gorgeous perfumes, but this time I had to settle for enjoying the beautiful façade ✨

Sunsets over Nice ☀️ (to remind myself what sunsets actually look like as I haven’t seen one since I got back from the south- merci la grisaille parisienne)

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.
