My first solo trip to Paris was pretty wild. It was mid-COVID, no one knew proper procedures, and it felt a little like the Wild West. I was determined to get back to my soul city, though, and I made it happen. I’d been to Paris other times with people, but this time I went on my own, and I …
Attending the European Christmas markets is now something I do each year during Thanksgiving. Ever since my first trip, I decided that this would be an annual tradition for myself, as it brings me so much joy.

I have tried many, many types of accommodations, and have settled on the fact that central Paris boutique hotels are the right fit for me. I’m thinking that if you’re reading this, you feel the same.

I’ve lived in New Orleans most of my life, so ghosts are simply part of the landscape for me. They aren’t novelties reserved for ghost tours. And they aren’t new to me or anyone from New Orleans.
