Paris is such a confusing city. I don’t love it, and half the time, I don’t even know if I like it. BUT… I have never been anywhere that made me constantly want to cry from overwhelming magnificence. There is something about standing in the shadows of centuries-old buildings that will break down even the most iron-hearted of us (though I am pretty emotional).

As our South American adventure is coming to a close, it’s time to reveal what’s next for us! And more importantly, to ask all of you guys for help! We are going to Europe from July 6 to September 24!! For an 80 day tour of Europe.
