Paris, France
OH Paris my Paris. Written about countless times, featured in hundreds of movies, and ultimately regarded as the romance capital of the world. The wine, the cheese, the history, how could somewhere possibly live up to such a name? That is a question I'm still baffled about today 6 years after my first visit to Paris...but the thing is, it does. When I visit Paris I truly feel a different sense about myself. It's hard to put into words, but Paris is exactly what I had always hoped it would be. I don't even mind the dirty subways, catcalling men, or mutant sized sewer rats, it is la vie en rose for me.
If you ever want to walk down a cobbled side walk while eating gelato in front of Vincent Van Gogh's home, then maybe Paris is for you too.
