💕Today is the day I’m celebrating my trip to Paris (more like a throwback, but I never really shared the experiences) So here you go…🙌 ✨Paris. The city of lights, love, croissants, and cinematic sunsets. Every corner looks like it’s made for Pinterest boards and movie scenes. And while the Eiffel did make me emotional but the reality wasn’t all that romantic. 👍Yes, it’s beautiful. The kind of beautiful that makes you want to pack your life into a suitcase and start fresh. But it’s also… kind of overhyped🧐 👉No one really tells you how touristy it can feel — you’re surrounded by people, all the time. The “quaint streets” are often overflowing with crowds and queues. 👉There’s also a surprising lack of warmth in the people (don’t expect small talk or friendly smiles), and let’s not even talk about how common petty theft is — especially for tourists. 👉According to data, Paris receives over 30 million visitors a year, and while it continues to top global “must-visit” lists, it also ranks high for tourist scams and pickpocketing. It’s a dream city — but dreams, too, have sharp edges. That said… would I go again? 😁🙌Absolutely. Because despite the chaos, the clichés, and the occasional reality checks, Paris does have a magic of its own. Maybe next time I’ll go with fewer expectations and more zipped pockets🥲🫶🏻 #paristravel #travelthrowback #realtravelstories #parisdiaries #meanwhileinlife #exploringmeanwhileinlife
