After spending 1 year in my favorite place on earth, it’s safe to say that I’m the happiest I’ve ever been…and the best fed. It’s impossible to say exactly what my favorite part of living here is; I guess it’s just that je ne sais quoi they all talk about. Oh, and the French paradox is a real thing because I’ve lost 10 lbs and eat better than ever! Whenever people say to me “you’re just like Emily in Paris“, I can’t help but laugh because life here really isn’t like that silly TV portrayal, and there’s not a Gabriel at every corner…but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Were you born the year of the tiger? If so what kind of tiger are you? Water, earth, metal, etc? I was born in 1998 which makes me an earth tiger! This also means that it is my unlucky year. Lucky for me I have made some changes like the direction in which I sleep and more use of the color red. What does the year of the tiger mean to you? Let us know in the comments below!
