Det där med Paris, alltså.

Bild – HÄR

Inför Paris-resan söker jag tips och information like a crazy person. Personer som driver bloggar och själva bott i Paris är den bästa inspirationen, tycker jag. Snubblade över den HÄR bloggen häromdagen och fann ett inför-flytten-till-Paris-inlägg som jag inspirerades av. Har gjort om listan lite och ja – here we go!

1. Write every day. Grab a pen and a paper, sit down at the nearest café and write. Don’t ask why or what you’ll write – just do it.

2. Walk every day. Best way to discover a new town.

3. Don’t go anywhere without your camera. Even if it’s just a quick run to the metro, there will inevitably be something you’ll want to capture. Delete nothing.

4. Cheese and wine. That is all.

5. By a fresh baked croissant on your morning walk and a glass of wine at any café you stumble upon. Parisians understand how to live a really beautiful, decadent life. Take note.

6. Go to a museum at least once. The Louvre has extended opening hours on wednesday and friday.

7. Buy fresh flowers. I know you’ll be staying at a hotel and you wonder why on earth you should by flowers. But honestly, just do it. It is not the point of having flowers at your hotel room – it’s about going to the market and to feel like a local citizen.

8. Try to speak French with the locals every day. Stop being afraid of using the wrong conjugation, the wrong pronoun, the wrong accent. 

9. Calories and credit card limits still exist on vacation — don’t go crazy. (But still remember to treat yourself).

10.  Be present, be grateful, and be happy. You are in Paris.
