J’aime la France. 🇫🇷 🤍
A few weeks ago, my mom and I explored Paris and the French Riviera for her 60th birthday. It was a trip of a lifetime. Immersing myself in French culture, I’m blown away by France’s beauty - the country, architecture, art, food, people. Simply perfect, less is more. 🤍
This trip sparked my creative spirit and has me in a nurturing state of self reflection. I desire to create more playfulness in both my work and my personal life. 🤍
A few heartfelt insights from my time in France:
▫️French coffee is tiny tiny tiny (but strong) lol
▫️French food is simple yet deeply satisfying
▫️Time is nature does wonders for your mind
▫️Take your PTO and play. That’s what it’s there for
▫️Get pastries and baguettes before going through TSA security lol (there’s only a Starbucks and McDonald’s in the Paris airport terminal)
▫️Choose the vegetarian option on the airplane if you have a sensitive stomach
▫️Cassis and the Calanques stole my heart 🌊
▫️Bring your journal for travel📓
▫️Ask for a carafe of water when dining out
▫️If traveling to France in the summer, pack very light clothing - tanks, skirts, shorts.
▫️It’s okay to experience travel anxiety. Accept and embrace. 🤍
▫️It’s totally acceptable to eat bread and cheese.
▫️It can be helpful to protein powder to help meet daily needs.
