Pack & Plan: Paris & Discount!

The post with everything you need to know about how to pack light with only one small rolling bag for a month in Paris, France.

It's been way too long.

322 days, to be exact.

Granted, I could have planned a trip to Paris earlier this year instead of all the other places I went to instead. But, to me, a weekend in Paris is frustrating. I wanted more time. So, I waited. I waited for the end of my volleyball season to open up my free time and go back to work as an English tutor for a few weeks at the beginning of May and beginning of June.

Now I'll have nearly four weeks of a working holiday with Paris at my doorstep. I've been talking about this trip since the fall, and I cannot wait to delight in all things Parisian once again!

Because of my return to Paris, I am offering a limited time discount through Gumroad on my eBook, Four Years in Paris

Use code "swags2paris" to get your own copy for just $0.99!

Normally, FYIP is priced at $2.99, and it hasn't been priced this low since pre-orders last August. The code is only good until I go back to Germany on June 7th: please spread it around and take advantage of this deal while it lasts!
