C’EST FINI! 🇫🇷

Going back home with my heart full of beautiful memories and gratitude for this incredible experience in Paris!

Extremely proud of myself for never stopping chasing new things and learning more. French has been a language I’ve always wanted to learn and the jump I had with the classes at @alliance_francaise_paris was incredible. More on that soon!

And, of course, spending this time at my sister’s place and having special moments with her and my dear brother in law is something I will remember forever - thank you for these two for the hospitality, the jokes and the laughs! I see u in NYC!

And, of course, having some days in the city with my husband was also special. Not to mention the gelatos, the pastries and the restaurants - and the incredible people I met here too!

Au revoir, Paris! I hope to see you soon!

“Can I have a bottle of water? Do you have Perri

“Can I have a bottle of water?
Do you have Perrier?” - she asked the waiter, in French.

She was also able to do some small talk with the cashier about the most appropriate time to say “Bonjour” or “Bonsoir”.

She also paid for her purchase at the store and understood all the questions about getting a bag and the receipt.

Days earlier, she rehearsed a question in French while walking to the gym. She has been ordering her coffee in French every morning.

(She also had to switch to English to ask about how long she could keep her pastries out of the fridge and she couldn’t hold a conversation in French while asking for a medicine at the pharmacy, but she is choosing to celebrate her wins).

She is now heading to her last week studying French at @alliance_francaise_paris and she is feeling accomplished and proud of herself 🥹

MY ROUTINE STUDYING FRENCH IN PARIS at @alliance_francaise_paris 🇫🇷

I guess the most surprising thing about this experience is realizing that studying is a full-time job 😂 my brain can’t function properly after 4h studying French.

Jokes aside, this has been such an incredible, exciting and challenging experience and I’m very grateful for it.

On top of that, being able to build some routine and getting to explore Paris with my sister is definitely a plus that I don’t take it for granted!

A day in my life RACING IN PARIS 🥲🥹🇫🇷

@adidas10kparis was a special one (but they could do better with the bathroom situation!). I can’t think of a more perfect course than this!

The parisians also brought a lot of good energy! And having my sister and her husband cheering me on made everything even more special!

And please don’t forget to check @peppe.family - they have a few locations in Paris and I’m honestly still thinking about those pizza!

@adidas10kparis I DID IT! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 This is what I call a special sightseeing ❤️

When I first heard about this race, I knew it was going to be an epic one, so I signed up immediately since I was going to be in Paris. Such a BEAUTIFUL and unforgettable course 😭😭😭 I was emotional.

Although I had some pain by the middle of the course and had to walk for a min, I finished strong and proud of myself. Plus, it was very special having my sister @flaneriephoto and my brother in law cheering me up along the way 🥹🥹🥹

Will share more about it soon!

—- and thanks @runna for another incredible plan 🏃‍♀️

🇫🇷I’VE BEEN PLANNING THIS FOR A YEAR — and it’s finally happening: I’m taking an intensive French course at Alliance Française de Paris! @alliance_francaise_paris

(And it feels amazing to chase the dreams little Laura once had!)

@alliance_francaise_paris is a prestigious institution, recognized worldwide. They offer immersive courses for all levels, with clear objectives tailored to your goals.

I started my course on Monday, and I’m genuinely impressed — from the classes to the extracurricular activities, Alliance Française de Paris provides a strong foundation for full immersion in the French language.

Not to mention... Paris. I mean, do I really need to say more?

Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing everything about my experience. And don’t forget to check out their website and Instagram to learn more about the programs they offer!

🏞️2-day getaway in the Hudson Valley Thiago

🏞️2-day getaway in the Hudson Valley

Thiago and I love to escape the city sometimes and explore the Hudson Valley. Over the Memorial Day weekend, we spent two days in Hyde Park and explored some spots around.

🚗Car Rental: for us, it was so convenient to take the Metro-North and pick-up a car in Poughpeesie. Not only we skipped Manhattan’s traffic (it’s so annoying), but the pick-up was so fast and if you compare, it’s cheaper than picking up in some locations in the city.

🏠 This Airbnb had stunning views. It rained most of the days, but we were able to witness a beautiful sunset.

Places mentioned on the video:

🥧 @justalittlepieshop- hands down the best discovery during this trip. They have different flavors of pie, and also build your pie (savory and sweet options). I thought I didn’t like American pies until I tried this one.

🍬From the same owners, try @amandasmacaronshoppe too! Their macarons are delicious!

🥗 For healthy food - we loved @chakrabowls, serving salads, bowns and smoothies

🍹 For dinner and drinks - @farmersandchefshv (portions were generous!)

🧁In Hudson, make sure to stop by @alittlerico for nourishing dishes and confort latin food, @melthebakery - their almond chocolate croissant was insane, @SupernaturalCoffeehudson for a capuccino and a slice of their orange olive oil cake and @oldehudson for specialty foods.

🌉 Still in Poughkeepsie, you shoul definetely check Walkway Over the Hudson, a pedestrian and bike bridge and in Hyde Park, make sure to stop by Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt (it is stunning in the Fall).

Do you have more recs of places to explore in the Hudson Valley? Drop them below!
