PARIS

Now, I was really stressed out about this trip cuz it was going to be my first time traveling by myself in a completely foreign country where I didn't know the language and I had yet to get in touch with the friend I was going to meet up with over there.
I managed to navigate my way around pretty well, though, surprisingly. I found the train that took me from the Charles de Gaulle Airport into Paris. Once I got on, a man with an accordion came on a few minutes after me and started playing for the whole train.
"Yep," I thought to myself, "I'm definitely in France."
Once I got off the subway and started walking to my hostel, my friend, Karie, called me and all was more than well after that.

It was also Karie's 21st birthday, so the tiara was definitely in order:



Perched next to the Seine with champagne and Eiffel Tower in front of us = perfection!
