Jack’s Un-Classic Walk
Our manager, Jack, moved back to Texas a couple months ago to work at the headquarters in Austin. For Jack’s grand finale, we met at 10pm at the General Joffre statue in between the Eiffel Tower & Ecole Militaire. Since Jack had never done our Classic Walk tour during his time here, he proposed a […]
Magic Monday
Magic Monday is back! (After I forgot about it). Little glimpses of Paris magic… Just an iPhone picture, but I was walking around to hotels for work to meet with concierges and talk with them about tours, and I rounded the corner to…a parking lot? my car? a concrete building? traffic? No, just a postcard-perfect […]
Life Updates
A few life updates include the following: 1. New JobI don’t think I ever really mentioned this in detail. In August, I got a new job! The owner of Fat Tire decided to start a new company, Easy Pass Tours, a set of skip-the-line tours for all the major monuments and museums in Paris. They […]
Brunch with a Pastry Tree & a Zombie Stroll
Epic brunch at La Bellevilloise How adorable was this place? Let me count the ways. Live piano and singing, tables everywhere, juice bar, bottomless cups of coffee (unheard of in Paris), all-you-can-eat brunch (also unheard of), funky decorations, huge open room, skylight roof. I will be returning. Billy described this brunch spot the night before, […]
October Happenings: Eating & Moving, Primarily.
These past 3 months have been a whirlwind of nonstop activities, hanging out, dinners, costumes, themes, and late nights with this little family I’ve grown to love. Both October and November have been jam packed to the point where I’ve had 3 nights per month of not doing something. Three!! In a month. I’ve honestly […]
The End of the End
Coming at you live from the exciting corner of my room, eating Nutella out of the jar with a spoon!! It’s been nearly a MONTH since I’ve given any sort of update at all. For good reason, because it’s been a jam-packed past month filled with good times, friends, laughter, goodbye gatherings, and memories, and […]
Magic Monday
Magic Monday is happening on Friday because I forgot. I FORGOT, OKAY?? I was trying to start something, and then I forgot, and Magic Friday doesn’t have any kind of ring to it, so just pretend it’s Monday. Except it’s really Friday, and the weekend is tomorrow!! Best Monday ever!! I have 3 wonderful friends […]
French Neon Pirates Storm the Metro
After 3 years in Paris with Fat Tire, our amazing, fabulous, wonderful, super sweet Office Manager, Amanda, is moving to Berlin. (That was a lot of commas for one sentence.) Sadness fills our hearts, as this place will not be the same without her…so of course we had to send her off in style. This […]
Serious Eats in Paris & Scotland
My best friend of 12 years, Katrina, finally came to visit me in Paris, and it was the best. I could make a top 100 list but I’ll just limit it to top ten: 10. Eiffel Picnic with pita chips & hummus This is REAL EXCITEMENT. I can’t find pita chips in Paris. Pita chips […]
Magic Monday
Paris is magical. I know it sounds cheesy, but that’s the only adjective that really does it justice. One of the things I love most about Paris is that there’s always something beautiful or wonderful waiting to leave you digging for your camera or throwing your hands in the air and sighing, looking around at […]
