In Lovely, Lonesome Paris

So, we are in Paris, the city of love and romance.

Yeah right! the first day we had NOWHERE to sleep! can you imagine?

nowhere to sleep in a big BIG city, so we actually had to run around almost the whole city to find a place to sleep that we could afford, the result of this mistake was a bill of 35€ for the two of us in a hotel with a big room, so it wasn`t that bad, but sure a lot more than we can afford.

The next day we prowled the city one more time in a desperate attempt to find a place to sleep on a way out of paris, which isn`t as easy as it sounds, try hitchiking in the centre of a big city, it just won`t work, and busses or metro trains don`t go all the way out of the city, and trains in france are auite expensive, the cheapest ticket for us was actually 150€ and that we can certainly not afford, it was getting late and we were eating at one of the stations furthest out of town, we realized that the best thing we could do was to make a sign: ?Couchsurfer? and believe it or not, but in like 10 minutes a nice lady started to talk to us and offered us to sleep in her apartment with her 3 boys (16, 17 and 24 years old) and we had a nice time trying to understand each other since france isn`t the best place to be english speaking, but they were quite good and after a while we had no problem at all making ourself understood!

The next day we left the apartment after realizing that my cousin Josefin (Yeah another one ;)) were in paris, so we made our way to Marie Dìvry and thats where we are currently staying.

(And I have to admit that Paris IS a bit romantic without a 20kg backpack on your shoulders ;)
