September was so warm and half calm half crazy for me! Let’s chat about this almost past month and do some plans for October which is gonna be full of… surprises.

Two first week I spent in Paris as you could see in the last post – check it out here if you haven’t read it already. It was a very nice time that I spent with my boyfriend, his family and my mum too! I was very happy that we had managed to organize this trip for her so she can meet my boyfriend’s family :D

But (!) something had happened before this trip to Paris! I had a very beautiful opportunity to be a translator during a Polish-French wedding which was a huge challenge for me. I don’t know if you know this about me but I’m a French teacher and usually I use this language to teach (beside my everyday life with my French boyfriend :p ) so this wedding was a totally different thing! It was a beautiful evening and a lot of people told me that my French was very good :’) I had tears of joy in my eyes! Plus I opened myself to some other opportunities with French language.

The second part of September was.. full of French class! As the school year has begun, a lot of my French students came back so I had some work to do :p We went back to Vienna and I think it was my first flight that didn’t bring me back to Poland but to another city abroad. It was a funny feeling. Also we participated in Vienna Bachata Congress which is a bachata festival and it was pretty cool but also very exhausting. Would you like to know more about it? Maybe I can right a post about bachata? :D

We’re about to finish this month… in Paris, celebrating two year together and having the last French croissant! I’m very very veeerrryyyy grateful for all of this happening in my life :’)

The new semester begins so I will go back to Poland… finally :P This academic year I want to work on some organization habits, especially for the meal prep. Last year I had several situations when I didn’t prepare anything to eat and then I was starving for the half of the day so I really want to make it better now.

Another thing is that October is going to be full of nice trips (yeaaaah, again!) and an amazing event but I’ll tell you more about this at the end of this month. Also I need to finish my driving license! I haven’t finished it yet because I had to take a break as I was traveling during past two month and I wasn’t in Lodz at all.

I’m pretty excited for this month! How about you? Tell me in the comments!

I spent this year's holiday in Paris, which I already knew well. And even though I thought I knew Paris like the back of my hand, exploring it again with my mother was very cool! Hence my idea to make a list with these few more-or-less popular places and to invite you to take a walk around the French capital. Shall we go?

Although Paris is strictly built-up, there is some space for nature. I really like Parisian parks because they are often beautifully arranged, with some flowers here and there or even mini waterfalls. Plus something that I really like to see is people with books sitting on the bench. Here's a list of parks to discover!

Apart from the fact that there are many beautiful townhouses in the center, there are additionally many beautiful buildings that are nice to see. You don't always have to (or can) go inside, but when walking the streets of Paris you can walk past, take a photo... and move on :p Below you will find the buildings I saw this time!

Classics are classics, I don't need to describe them - just list them. I like to see them, walk past them to have that feeling of checking the on my list “what Paris is known for”. But you can skip the classics and visit Paris in an unconventional way ;)

A list of Parisian classics:

I wouldn't be myself if I didn't give some nice addresses for coffee :p the list may not be long, but these are the places I have visited and had coffee there :3

Paris is not just about what's in the center, but also the towns around it. We had a car so we could go here and there, but transport is doing quite well in the French capital (despite the strikes), so I've provided a list of nice places to get to by public transport too!
