Bonsoir....

It's cliche to visit Paris and return thinking you're some French expert... but I'm nothing short of the cliche individual so here's another cliche post to add to your collection. So as you've gathered, I've recently (recently being about 9/10 hours ago) returned from Paris and well, it was awesome.

Here's some pictures and holiday advice.

1. A camera is the most essential companion. It's more important than your phone. In fact, your phone is only necessary for when you're returning. So long as you're with people, you don't need to keep in contact with anyone else. If you have to keep in contact, get a local sim and credit. It'll save you money. Yes a lot of phone have camera's but it's not the same.

CAMERAS ARE NOT FOR THIS REASON!

 2. Loved ones are always a necessity. Last holiday I had was with my 'cousins' in Dubai. While being around your age mates is tops, having younger ones is still fun. They have stories for days. They have descriptions for everyone and they always want to have fun.

Meet the squaaaaaaa!!!!!

3. A journal is ten steps higher than a camera. Yes cameras a great for visual memories, but when you're writing, your more in touch with your personal, your emotion and that. I didn't keep one, but I wish I did.

4. Visit landmarks, be a tourist!!!! Almost every country has a landmark. Take out at least one day in your holiday to visit it. As we know, France has the Eiffel Tower, and it would be silly not to go. I'm a sucker for heights, and though this has nothing agains Burj Khalifa, it was still beautiful.

5. Bring out the child in you. Now I'm aware that not every city has a disneyland, but a theme park is somewhere at bay or something to remind you of your childhood at the very least. As for me, it was Disneyland Paris. Even though I went as a child, it was nice to actually remember things, also to experience new things. The parade was also AMAZING, the studio a lot of 'you should've been there' moments, and a couple, 'I wish so and so was here.' None the less, I was a child for the day. 

Oga at the top!

Because Disney...

The missus.

6. SHOP! SHOP! SHOP! EAT EAT EAT!!!!!!!

 I put these two together because they are where your money will go. Shop... every time you travell I suggest you collect stuff.. shot glasses, key holders, fridge magnets, ash trays just collect... it's fun to do. Now, I'm not a fan of taking pictures of food, so I don't have any of those. However, I always make it a must to try out something cultural. This time, I stayed away from frog legs and stuck with baguettes and croissants. 

But yes, luckily for me there was a MASSIVE shopping mall.. Val d'Europe and a Designer outlet village... La Vallée Village behind my hotel.

Google this.

There's so much more advice to give, but that's all based on my own opinions and experiences. So travel and find out what suits you best and share your tips. 



Au revior for now... 

 

What's a holiday without one of these?
