I have always wanted to go to Paris on my own for as long as I can remember. Now that I am here in England, that dream could somehow be realized by saving for atleast 2 or 3 months. Not bad for a stingy person such as myself. But the thing is, everytime I open this topic with a friend or to my parents, they somehow think going on a backpacking trip to Paris isn't really the wisest idea. Here are their reasons:
a. I dont speak French. But hey, isn't that part of the thrill. Also, Paris I presume is a touristy place, meaning there are lots of people I could ask for should anything happen.
b. I am super bad at directions. And by bad I mean, I literally need to go to a place atleast 4 times before I can remember how to get there on my own. But what are maps for right? Also, if there's anything Im good at, it's asking people.
c. Paris is supposed to be romantic and should be shared with someone. But hey, Im a strong, independent woman. Plus, Im not the luckiest person when it comes to the lovelife division. Does that mean I could never go to Paris just because I am eternally single??? Pshh!
d. Travelling alone is unsafe. Well, while I am all for finding oneself, this one I have to agree. This world is just too messed up as it is.
So I was wondering, to whoever it is who'd stumble on this post, care to be my adventure buddy? Hehe!
