L'INTRO




Well, hello!

This is just a quick post, the first post and so a formal hello. Its purpose is to let you all know that after spending nearly half of my life dreaming of living in Paris, and then spending the other half of it actually living there, I decided to create this space in order to help all of the future expats and travelers, all of the romantics and dreamers to make that dream and the process of getting there as seamless and as wonderful as possible.

I decided to name this blog "I want to go to Paris" simply because that's where the story begins. While I was still in primary school, I was already seriously obsessed by the myths and stories of the City of Lights. My god mother was french, my mother lived and studied in Paris, both my parents vacationed there almost every year, I loved the poets, writers, painters and thinkers all linked to Paris. It was inevitable. So I got, I can't remember where, this t-shirt that read in a continuous and uninterrupted stream "iwanttogotoparisiwanttogotoparisiwanttogotoparisiwanttogotoparisiwantogotoparisiwanttogotoparisiwanttogotoparisiwanttogo..."
When my dad saw this, he decided to finally take me there during summer vacation instead of taking me to the south of France.

The rest is history and I can't wait to begin ...
