Although I am a bit scared for my move to France, I am also extremely excited. I want to make the most of my time abroad (which will be at least one year, but could be extended for who knows how long). So I’ve compiled a list of things (some a bit crazy) to do in Paris!

• Have someone mistake me as a Parisian and ask me for directions
• Sneak into the secret parts of the catacombs without dying
• Go to a wine bar and act snooty
• Somehow get into crazy exclusive parties/events/clubs
• Get mistaken for a celebrity
• Meet some famous people who I don’t know are famous but we become best friends
• Act in a French movie that gets crazy popular
• Find a cafe to write in that becomes “my cafe”
• Dream in French
• Adopt a cat and name him or her “Bisou”
• Throw a party
• Travel around Europe
• Fall in love – with Paris, a guy, baguettes, who knows?
• Make amazing friends from all over the world
• Teach my au pair child Taylor Swift songs
• Buy and wear a beret
• Become an actual celebrity in France for something weird, like my new cat Bisou can talk.
• Sit in a fancy hotel lobby and pretend to wait for someone.
• Have my family visit me
• Climb the first half of the Eiffel but also take the elevator to the top
• Convince my au pair family to name their next child “Talullah”
• Have a cheese picnic. Just cheese.
• Go viral for something France-related. Like me falling in the Seine on or something else normal.
• Become an actual Parisian
• Stay in Paris forever?

Do you have any other suggestions? Au revoir!
