Photo Journal of Paris

A year ago, I embarked on the greatest adventure of my life and after a quick stop in Iceland (for the most magical time at the Blue Lagoon) I landed in Paris after a lifetime of dreaming about it. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about that trip and long for a fresh baguette and a cafe au lait under the Eiffel Tower.

Today, I thought I’d share some of the unseen photos from my trip that I still scroll through on my phone with hearts in my eyes.

If you love Paris, hopefully this post will bring you back too!

bon soir paris

Paris was everything I dreamed it to be and then some, which is probably why it still feels so magical a year later and will stay with me always (or at least until my next visit!)

Love Paris too? I’d love to hear what your favorite spot in Paris is!
