welcome back to the vlog if you're new here i'm tiff i'm an american living in paris and today
i'm actually out running some errands getting gifts for friends and family in the states
because tomorrow i am off to the united states so i'm going home tomorrow for about a month um so
i'm going home to boston also making a few other stops in the states to see some friends um but yay
i literally have not been home to the state since december of 2019 which is
crazy so since i'm leaving tomorrow and i literally leave everything to the last minute
um i came out today just to get some little gifts to bring back to everyone right now i'm on my way
to angelina which has really amazing hot chocolate so figured i'd try and grab some of that to bring
home to the states i know it's like the middle of summer but one of my really good friends fell in
love with the hot chocolate in paris so definitely wanted to grab some of that to bring to her and
maybe some other friends and family too so yeah headed to angelina's now there's actually also
a location in new york city but the location in paris was the first so heading there now
and then also i'll probably run to a few souvenir shops and things like that yeah
just running some errands today and preparing for my trip to the states
when i totally forgot um there's a huge carnival and jewelries happening
right now i don't know if you guys can see any of the rides
but maybe i'll walk through there when i'm heading back to the train just to show you guys
um what it looks like so usually every summer they have a huge kind of like fair
carnival which is really cute really fun so yeah maybe we'll walk through there on our way back
chocolate show
oh my gosh it's so pretty in here but i think i'm just gonna get these because i think
this is more like the real hot chocolate that they serve here so nice to be here
so
here
all right done and done got the hot chocolate it's kind of heavy so i'm
hoping it doesn't weigh down my bag um but now i'm just gonna see if they
have a few souvenir shops down here first because i think that they might and if not
then we'll just head to another shop um but yay i'm so glad that i got my hot chocolate
all right done and done got a few scarves to bring home to friends because one of my friends
asked for a silk scarf so perfect now i think the last thing i need to find is i think my mom wanted
a shirt that says like paris across so i just need to find one of those
you know more like traditional souvenir shops to get that at and then we're done oh i'm so happy
that this is easy i was like i don't know what i'm going to get people but maybe i'll walk down
this strip a little bit longer and if i don't see anything i'll just loop around take you
guys through the carnival and head to another shop oh wait wait here's the souvenir shop right here
oh my gosh perfect this is exactly what i needed um so let's see if i can find
a few shirts in here to bring back perfect
oh my gosh guys i'm so happy right now i literally got everything that i needed to get
i got the shirts i got the silk scarves i got the hot chocolate
like i literally thought i was going to be running all over paris today but i'm so glad
that i got everything in one stop so i can just enjoy the rest of the day it's beautiful
it's so beautiful out so i'm just gonna sit by the fountain for a little bit i'm right
um at tulare's garden um this is like one of my favorite places to sit and chill in paris
and then after that i'm going to walk through the carnival you guys can probably see the
ferris wheel behind me so i'll walk through that and show you guys and then probably head
home after that but yay i'm just so glad i got everything done now i can sit down and relax
so
all right that was nice i always love a little chill moment by the fountain and now making my
way through this little carnival so cute so yeah they usually put this up every summer it's just
thing and it's just like a little fun thing to do when you come to paris in the summertime
oh my gosh growing up i used to love like the sausages and hot dogs at the carnival
so i actually might get one of those but it's a cute little carnival
wow they honestly have a ton of rides here they even have the flying chairs in the back so i think
that's the kitty one and then they have a huge one back there they have so much here this carnival
is huge oh my gosh and then this ride never in my life have i gotten on a ride like this just
because it scares me i feel like the closest that i've come to getting on something like
this is like the magic school bus that's usually at the carnivals but this one i couldn't do it
like absolutely not could not do it gosh they have so much here
oh they even have water rides guys i'm like do i need to mess around and get on one of these rides
not the crazy ones but you know one of the ones
oh my gosh they even have the jumbo slide i used to love this too
ah can you see it oh my gosh it seems to be like my favorite too ah i have a lot of my favorite
rides in this carnival oh my gosh i could never in hell get on this ride either i could just i can do
it oh i think they're going up right now god i'm like so afraid of heights i could never do this
all right that was cute that was fun um now i am heading home to pack because i of course have
nothing packed or ready to get on this plane tomorrow so i'm about to run home and go do that
so guys i am back home i just finished packing it's actually much later it's uh like 10 o'clock
at night right now but i am so excited to go home to the states i tried to pack as light as
possible just because i gotta lug this suitcase down my fifth floor walk up and then back up my
fifth floor walk up when i come back but i think i did a pretty good job so i have like one month's
worth of clothes packed up because i'm going home to the states for about a month um but i tried
to kind of pack light even though it doesn't really look that light um just because again i
have to lug this up and down my foot four walk up listen the struggle can be real when you have to
lug a suitcase up and down the stairs um of your old apartment building in paris let me tell you
um but yeah again i tried not to pack too too much but you know i just i love to have options
and not to mention i'm going to a few different places in the states so of course i'm going home
to boston uh to see my family in boston that i'm also going to ohio for a few days to see one of
my very best friends and my god son oh my gosh she's getting so big now and then i'm also going
to new york which is literally my second home to see some friends there so i'm gonna be hopping
around a bit in the states too so yeah just wanted to make sure i had a bunch of options but um guys
i am so excited to go to the states tomorrow and honestly since i've lived in paris i think
that this is the longest that i've ever gone home for um usually i only go home for like two weeks
or um 10 days or something like that i've never been home for a month you know just considering
all that's been going on in this world for the past what like year and a half like you know what
tiff um just spend as much time at home as you can so yeah i'm so excited i really cannot wait
i really cannot wait so i'm basically all packed up um just tomorrow morning i'll probably run
to the bakery i don't know if i'll run to the bakery in the morning or if i'll just grab
them at the airport but um my grandfather is like obsessed with the pastries here in paris
especially the croissants so um whenever i go home i always bring him like a ton of croissants but
yeah he loves the croissants here and then my sister is obsessed with the baguettes here so
yeah i definitely have to stop at a bakery either before i leave or at the airport to bring them
home some goodies and then i of course have um all the stuff that i got earlier for them too so yeah
excited to bring them home some goodies from paris for sure and just so excited to see them
and then um i think the other stuff i just have to do is get some little stuff together for tomorrow
but yeah that's about it so guys the next time i see you i'll be in the united states stay tuned
