Alone in Paris
Entry 2 of 2 | show all | print this entry |
The idea of travelling to Europe alone was pretty daunting to me but I did it. I chose London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam as my "cities to visit". Having no working knowledge of French, I was feeling really nervous as to how am I going to survive with just a few French phrases at my disposal. But when I arrived in Paris, all my apprehensions (the whole "not knowing enough French and being alone" situation) quickly disappeared. It is a real cliche but Paris took my breath away. It was indeed the most romantic city (albeit the highly unfortunate 1st night in Montmartre). Being an art enthusiast as well, this city was just perfect for my thirst for all things renaissance and pompous (really). It also was not bad being in a highly gastronomic city. I recommend for travellers to walk around Montmartre at 4am to have a taste of freshly baked croissants and madelines at the boulangerie close to the Abesses Metro. It was heaven! I also must have eaten a million macarons from Laduree when I was there (this did not include the macarons from Laduree in London) not to mention Berthillion ice cream in Notre Dame. Just perfect!
For all those single women out there who keep thinking twice about travelling alone - don't hesitate and experience it! It was an exhilirating experience and I will do it all over again.

This is what I keep trying to tell everyone I know - traveling solo is so exhilarating. It's hard to take that first step, but once you're there, wherever it is you choose, you wonder what took you so long to get going. boldlygosolo.com
