What it was actually like living in Paris
During a pause on our Interrail trip, I headed back home to Paris for about a week and a half. It made me reflect on what living in Paris was actually like compared to all these other European cities we had been visiting, and the clear differences of what summer in Europe is really like.
Living in Paris for a year was a great experience for me, but it absolutely came with its challenges. Paris is not the city for everyone, but for me, it will be forever romanticized in my memories.
Stay tuned for more travels and inspiration for your next trip. More travelling Europe to come.

This sort of worked and I ended up with a route that covered Germany - Poland - Königsberg (Russia) - Lithuania - Latvia - Lithuania - Poland - Germany. There was one major problem: in the Baltic States the railways are barely developed and the prices really cheap, so the Interrail Ticket was useless and I only used 5 out of the 10 days I originally planned. In the end I managed to spend the other five days in another trip, this time to the British Islands.
