PARIS

This weekend was amazing!

My friend and I couch-surfed in Paris for the first time (second for him)! It saved us over 100 euros on hostels/hotels which were completely booked. The guy who hosted us was about 23, from Israel, and actually hosted someone a week earlier who knew girls that are on exchange at Utrecht, that were in Paris at the same time! His friend also knew my old roommate and friends from Miami, because last summer he worked in a summer camp during his army service! Small world.

Anyways, they took us around at night and gave us locations to visit, which we would have never found otherwise! Like Bercy or Luxembourg Park. I can't wait to do it again!

We managed to do a lot! Eifle Tower, Notredame, Louvre, free walking tour, a few parks, walk, Champ Elysee, St. Michel, and much more. We found a non-touristy entrance to the Louvre, which saved us over 2 hours of waiting :)

OH, and ALL the museums/attractions were FREE because we had an EU resident card and we are under 26!


I'll let the pictures do the rest:
