My Travels: Paris Edition
By: Alixandra Kilpatrick
Paris has a way of meeting you exactly where you are. From quiet morning walks along the Seine to café moments and streets that carry centuries of stories, this trip was less about checking off landmarks and more about simply soaking it all in.
Paris met me exactly where I was. Each morning started with quiet walks along the Seine as the city slowly came to life, followed by café stops and hours spent exploring. From wandering through different neighborhoods to taking in the iconic sights, I felt like I truly experienced Paris in all the ways I had imagined.
This trip had been a bucket-list dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and finally being there felt surreal. While I loved seeing all of Paris, it was the moments in between that stayed with me most. I left feeling incredibly grateful—not just for the places I saw, but for finally getting to experience a city I’d always dreamed about.
This edition of My Travels is a collection of moments and memories from time spent exploring Paris. It’s about the beauty found in small experiences, the joy of being somewhere new, and the inspiration that travel always brings.
Paris, you left your mark — and I can’t wait to share more.
