I am insanely obsessed with Traveling, I am in total zen mode when I have an upcoming trip. From the planning stages till the end of the trip my adrenaline is pumped.

Being in another country brings so much clarity and prospective to my entire existence. I enjoy exploring new places, meeting new people, eating new foods, emerging in different cultures, adapting to new systems and embracing the whole vibe of the Place.

Paris Paris ooh la la! Paris has been in the number one spot on my bucket for a while now. I had made several attempts to visit however there was always a speed bump until last October 2019. Oh my God you cannot begin to understand my low key excitement when I finally purchased tickets and booked hotel.

So here goes needle hole budget breakdown:

Total Trip USD1323 – Book flight in May for travel in October 2019

Flight cost USD356/ Martinique – Paris (nonstop)

Boat cost USD115/St. Lucia – Martinique

Average Hotel Cost USD302/ 6 nights

Food & Transportation USD150

Excursions USD200

Shopping USD200

That trip was sentimental to my whole being, it was a birthday gift to myself- ‘ Chapter 42’ it was a location I had read about and was hopeful to experience most of what I read, it was a retreat much needed in my organized chaotic life during that period, it was a space I needed to re-center, re-align, rejuvenate and reset. All of the above was fulfilled!

Paris is a beautiful city filled with rich culture, amazing foods, immaculate architecture and warm people. That’s a trip that changed my life in so many ways, propelled me to take steps in living my true purpose, gave me strength I did not know I had and proved to me that anything is possible.

So friends be inspired! Take that trip! Search for flights now, one or two stops; book ticket early (3/4 months in advance), look for decent Hotel just outside the City (read more than the 1st five reviews), check out excursions, shopping, restaurant menus options, transportation and weather BEFORE you get to the Country. Be sure to drop me a line on your next needle hole budget trip. Blessings
