What you’ll find on My Paris Itinerary

my paris itinerary about me

I’m your personal Parisian pal, the one who swapped her native land for the charm of Paris back in 2019, and never looked back.

My Paris Itinerary is your go-to guide for Paris, told through the lens of a clued-up expat – think of me as your friend who’s always ready to spill the tea about where to go, what to eat, where to crash, what to see (and what to skip).

No fluff, just the real-deal Paris experience from someone who lives here. The glitter, the grit, and everything in between.

Ready to fall in love with Paris, the way I did? Then let’s get started!
