Beautiful Cities and Towns in France

 
A city people often think that represents France, is Paris. Paris is the number one top famous city in France, not to mention one of the top famous in the world. While traveling throughout France, I visited many wonderful town/cities. Paris was a wonderful city, but there are many wonderful cities to visit. Of course Paris will always be number one on my list. In this post I wanted to focus on other places to visit besides Paris.

EF Tours Review | Paris, Provence and the French Riviera

 
In October 2013, I found out about a life changing event, I could make a reality. My high schools French teacher signed up to bring a group of 10 or more people to the country France. The tour group the teacher chose to use was EF tours. The tour he chose was called Paris, Provence, and the French Riviera.** On July 5, 2014 I departed for France. A dream I had for quite some time.

France Through My Eyes | Metro


With the three fabulous days in Paris, it's very hard not to miss the metro. Unless you decided to take a cab across the city to places you want to go. These are some of the crazy experience I had while on the metro. 

France Through My Eyes | Notre Dame

 
With sliding down the cathedrals walls, talking gargoyles, molten copper covering the building and peaceful sounds of large bells ringing up in the towers. Although the beautiful sound of the bells weren't so peaceful while in the bell tower. By reading this I'm hoping a Disney movie comes to mind. If not, I'm talking about The Hunchback of Notre Dame. While watching this moving, you almost feel sucked back in time to 1482. In modern day, you don't have talking gargoyles or a man with a large hunchback climbing the outside walls. Despite this wonderful Disney movie, none of this actually happened. In my mind, watching this movie brings back memories of visiting this breath taking cathedral.

France Photo Edits


With all the amazing photos I have of the trip I took to France this last summer, I decided to do some photo edits. These are black and white, with a certain color highlighted. I thought it was a cool photo edit to use on my France photos.

France Through My Eyes | Departure

On July 5, 2014, at 8:00 a.m. I took a 18 hour flight to Paris, France. Bright and early in the morning I got up and drove to PDX airport. There I meet up with my tour group. There was 10 of us and we were all very excited to travel to France for our first time. Sleep was out of the question and in the back of our minds we were thrilled for this trip of a lifetime.

France Through My Eyes | Intro

 
On July 5, 2014 I embarked on an a life changing adventure, for someone like me. With EF Tours, a group of friends, and my high school's French teacher, we headed to France. With six different flights, twenty-one cities, and one country, we traveled and saw some major high lights of France in 9 days.

Hawaii 2013 Day 2

 
On our second day in Oahu, Hawaii, we got up very early and headed over to Pearl Harbor! This post will be about the trip I took to Pearl Harbor. This will be for two reason. One, This is mostly all we did all day. After going to Pearl Harbor, we headed back to the beach for the rest of the day. The second things is that I wanted to have one blog post on this visit. 

Hawaii 2013 Day 1


Last night, I just came back from Hawaii and I thought I would share with you all the things I've done every day on the tropical Island! On August 28 I took a 5 hour long plane right over to the island of Hawaii, Oahu. Below are pictures of the island(s) from the plane.

Throwback Thursday | Hawaii 2012


Now, I have shared with you all some important part of my life. I've posted a few post about going to school dances and trip with my friends, but I have yet to share with everyone possibly the best trip I've ever been on. Hawaii!

My Travel Bucket List

In my life I've only traveled around the west side of America. I travel around Oregon and Washington a lot! Last year I went on a road trip up around in Idaho and Washington, along the boarder of the States and Canada. I've been to Victoria, B.C., Canada once. When I was five I headed down to Disneyland in California and when I was three I went to Texas for three months. The farthest east I have ever been was Chicago, Illinois. This August, I will be going on my fourth trip to Oahu, Hawaii (keep your eyes out for a post and Youtube vlog of Hawaii soon!). I believe this August will be the last time I'll head for Hawaii for a while. I have such a long list of places I would love to travel to, that I rather head there, than go to Hawaii again and again. So with that, I thought I would post a list of countries/cities I want to travel to.  I call this my travel bucket list! Hope you enjoy!
