To help everyone at Tea “go there,” we make a yearly contribution to each employee for international travel and exploration. Upon their return, our Tea travelers write blog posts to share their adventures with all of us (and the world)!
Ready to really experience life somewhere else, Kelly Poper and I set off to Paris for a FULL month! With much planning we were able to find a wonderful apartment in the Montmartre neighborhood with WiFi and all the amenities that we needed to be able to continue to work from home. Only difference, we would be in a foreign country!
It didn’t take long for us to fall in love. This city is AMAZING! We tackled it the way any OCD, Type-A gals would: with a map and a daily list. Each day we would pick a different neighborhood of Paris, hop the Metro, and spend the morning exploring. It was my personal goal to try a Kir (Parisian wine cocktail) in each neighborhood. Goal achieved! We left no stone unturned! When the day was over, we would head back to our cozy Parisian apartment, turn on our computers, and work into the early hours of morning (San Francisco time!). This sounds tiring, but it really was ideal for getting to explore Paris in daylight!
A full month of wondering by foot and subway through this city and I’m going to admit something that you probably already guessed: a month isn’t enough!!
