there's so much i want to share!

this past week i've been thinking a lot about transitions. transitions into a new life, city, friends, etc. it takes me back to when i was studying in paris, france. i was so young, yet it was a mere two years ago. i was more lost than ever, yet i found comfort in new friends and new streets. i need to find that again.

here's some pictures that scream nostalgia :)

this was an amazing little antique boutique i stumbled upon. i remember the weather was warm...and they had everything you could imagine in this store. even an old working record player (300 euro!!)

good friends. laura & victor. riding the train together.


shimmy shimmy by the louvre. i have a whole series of pictures of me doing kartwheels in famous places. the guy's expression is priceless!

i organized a scavenger hunt for all my friends and we were to rendez-vous under the eiffel tower. this is one of my most memorable nights so far. (we're holding a bottle of champagne!)

during the scavenger hunt, we had to get at least three hugs from strangers. here we are making "free hugs" signs. we got loads of free hugs, although french people aren't fond of touching strangers.

this is one of my all-time favorite photos of mine. we were walking down a favorite "rue" of mine and i saw this couple kissing. the woman noticed me snapping photos so she bashfully stopped kissing her beau and giggled at me. simply adorable.

my parents came to visit for a week and bought me my favorite flowers, some gerber daisies. we went walking through the rainy streets, stopping at anything that caught our interest. i took some sweet pics.

saw this and couldn't help but snicker.

i won a contest for this photo! i was so excited...it captures all my friends and the thing we did best--jumping!!
