Tips for Traveling Outside of Paris

cre: Tips for Traveling Outside of Paris

Studying abroad in Paris is the first step. Second step ? Discover as much of Europe as you can! Because Paris is centrally located, it is an excellent starting point for your international adventures.

During my stay in Paris, I was able to travel to the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands. 3 of these trips out of 4 were at my expense and really affordable! I was able to see the German Black Forest through an incredible trip organized by the CEA. On top of that, I explored six French cities. It all happened in the space of 3.5 months, and I want to share with you some tips on how to maximize your time abroad.

Buses are your friends!

If you are ready to give up the luxury and the speed of the flight, there are several bus companies in Paris that can get you to the destinations of your dreams. More importantly, it will cost you a fraction of a plane ticket. I traveled to London with Ouibus for 30 euros, flat. Of course, it was a long drive, but it was the only way I could afford to see the famous city. And I didn’t intend to miss it!

And if you’re going to London, take a ride on one of these double-decker buses. They have just been updated to be more durable!

Go with groups of students

There are a bunch of student travel groups available to you that make travel easier. They introduce you to new people who are also exploring the world. Some of the groups organize tons of events for international students in Paris if you are looking for some entertainment near you.

Go with the flow

My absolute favorite trip was to Belgium, and I hadn’t planned on going there! My friend invited me the week before and I had no plans for the weekend so I went. I made some quick friends who were in the same hostel room as me. I ate more fries than I would like to admit. I laughed and laughed. And I would never have had this experience without being flexible at the time.

Don’t bring your laptop

I made the mistake of bringing my laptop on a trip with me, and it was nothing more than one more thing to lug around. Unless you have a mission to do, I suggest leaving the laptop at home to maximize your trip. Those downtime in your hotel or hostel room should be spent talking with your traveling companion. Ice skating (especially in winter) is a great evening activity when museums close. Transit time can be spent with a good book. Your back will thank you.

Sweets and Treats in Dublin

cre: Sweets and Treats in Dublin Dublin_Ireland_CafeFinds Yummy_ChristenaCarollo.jpg.jpg Imagine: The smell of apples, reheated and mixed with juicy black berries in a sweet breaded cover of a pie. Can you feel it? It’s an apple crumble with a (good) touch of berries. This dessert can be found on Queen of pies, the quaint, sweet cafe that is tucked between the shops along Dame Street, which is like the ‘yellow brick road’ to Trinity College Dublin. This street leads directly to the college, promising something glorious at the end, and offering treats and intrigue to complement your trip along the way, including an abundance of coffee and tea. And, by the way, for the coffee that a lot of us can’t resist (myself included), there is a Starbucks on this street (and although it’s a chain and not unique to Dublin or Ireland, j thought that would be worth mentioning).
