Paris tourist tips Videos

+Alana Vargas Magalhães There are facebook events for it :) There is also a website where they post when the next event is going to be. I usually just look at facebook events though. 

I'm not really sure but I know CROUS and Cite Universitaire have spots open for people that come through my study abroad program so maybe that's why I was able to get in? 

+Cesar Lerma 

Hey, but unfortunately I have heard that not everyone gets to live there...they usually give priority to scholarship students. But I don't know really, what do you think?

+joannajg13 Nice! It seems really fun to go to these speed datings. Where do we find it?

+sameeeeelllllllll Yeah, I looked at it :)

+Varalis try indeed uk as well !

+Sophie W I took a look at the websites and they are extremely useful! I'll definitely be using those websites to help plan out getting money to help pay for things :D Thanks lots.

+Sophie W Phenomenal! You are very helpful :)

Also, your university will often offer jobs too. I know at Birmingham university you can get paid to be a room inspector, work on campus, show people around the uni etc. You'll see lots of job opportunities once you get here. Plus you get like a massive grant off the government for living expenses

+Sophie W K thanks! I'll check them out! :)

Hey! Some great job websites are indeed.co.uk, monster.co.uk and jobsite.co.uk

+Troy Rought listen to franceinter!

Yeah! ^ I'm using duolingo to keep my french and learn some spanish :) I'd recommend that too 

Duolingo, any french youtuber of your interest and hello talk!

+Tinesha Kinley Paris is not the safest place in France (but honestly no one I know has ever been mugged or anything and if you don't go to sketchy areas you'll be 100% fine) but since you're planning to go for a weekend, it's probably the best option, since the train is really quick from London and it's pretty close to England. :)

+Aidan Blln thank you everyone for your responses! Where would you say is safest in France for me?! Mostly, I just want to practice my French speaking and listening by talking to locals in cafés, hotels etc...

You'll be fine for a weekend especially as you are from England you re already in western Europe so you won t have big culture shock. Plus mmamy people can speak basic english and metro transportation is very easy. I am from Paris by the way!

France is a rather safe country, and as said +Aidan Blln it really depends with whom you are traveling with. I'm from paris, If you want some informations or anything ask me ^^

+Tinesha Kinley heyy! I travelled on my own to Italy from France when I was your age (which was last year haha) and nothing bad happened, everything was amazing and went well. It really depends on three things: where are you going? Who are you going with? And do you think you really can be responsible on money and things like that? Also, it's not necessary but definitely better if you know someone there, and for hotels, you can if you have an authorization letter from your parents (and it's also gonna be in your favor if you reserved the room online before) :) If you have any other question, don't hesitate, and also tell me where you'd like to go, because my advices will definitely be more precise :) But no, I don't think that you're too young!

+Tinesha Kinley hey ! I do not think that you can stay in an hotel room if you're underage,( i mean by yourself without an adult) you should check :)

Thank you! I am very mature and independent although I'm not super responsible but I wanted someone else's opinion! Thanks again +Cherub

I wouldn't suggest that. My best friend is studying abroad for almost a month and she still feels severely lost. Also, I personally believe you're too young to go to a foreign country by yourself. I'd say my opinion is due mostly to maturity and it's a new country, you never know what could happen.

+Caleb hancock You're welcome, Caleb !I made these travel videos (and more are coming) to help anyone travelling independently around the world. I'm grateful for your comment, as it's nice to know someone gained something from my efforts. Ciao !

+Grateful Primate Thank you! 

+maggiehanna BTW, I liked your Versailles and Copenhagen videos on your channel. = )

+Grateful Primate I usually just tag along with a walking tour through the hostel where I am staying, which is usually really cheap or free and always pretty relaxed. Although exploring on your own getting lost is probably the real "best way" to get oriented. :-)I definitely agree things are much easier now, especially with the larger cities!

+maggiehanna Hi Maggie Hanna ! Walking tours are indeed a great way to get oriented to a new city, provided you can accept three limitations :1. You have to have reasonable walking stamina to keep pace with your group (not easy for the elderly or mobility impaired).2. You can't linger very long at any of the sites. Your itinerary is determined by the guide's timeline since most walking tours are only 1 or 2 hours long.3. You can't wander off on your own until after the tour is over (assuming you can find your way back to the sites on your own).Depending on your comfort level, I generally recommend exploring on your own so you can experience the joy and freedom of independent travel. You really don't have to pay someone to show you around a major city as long as you're willing to just do a little map research and watch some YouTube videos. You can do it !Heck, that's the reason people like me take the time to make these videos : to empower other people with information.When I started travelling on my own in the early 90's there was no internet or travel apps to help, LOL. We had talk to locals and bring Lonely Planet guidebooks in order to travel independently.My, how times have changed...Cheers ! = )

+amrtnz45 I'm really happy to hear that, amrtnz45. Helping other travelers is my main motivation for making these videos. Thank you for taking the time to tell me you enjoyed them !

+zimzala productions Cheers, Ollie ! I appreciate it !

+Karissa Cornell I'm glad this was helpful. Check out my videos for riding the Metro. Hope ordering food won't be a problem. Many restaurants have menus in English. That is not always a good sign, btw. It can mean that they cater to tourists. Many waiters speak English also. Have a great trip!

+TheMscarterplease It was REALLY hot this last August (about 93 degree Farenheit), which is normally the hottest month of the year in Paris. Parisians usually leave the city and take their vacations in August.I usually like to wear suits when I'm shooting my videos, but I just couldn't do it in this case. As a general rule of thumb, the weather in Paris (and the rest of western Europe) is similar to New York City's weather at any given time of the year.Have fun in Paris, Ms Carter !

No smiling? I live in Texas, that's going to be difficult!

Great video! It shows quite well what is Buenos Aires and what is contributing to its elegance and charm... + the info and facts are really interesting! We are sharing nice videos about Argentina as well, to show how this country is amazing. Feel free to have al look!

please redo what ever you are talking about why dont you study about the history or at least read about it the boca is they were no cloisters they were the sailor for that was the port and still is please save your breath in the wrong advise and talking garbage

Thank you for the video, and your passion for sharing your travels with us. Some people here who are making negative comments are just jealous haters, and very sad people. You are doing what many people wish they can do. Keep enjoying life and travel.

Sorry. But non Spanish speaking Americans should NOT use Spanish terminology at all. You sound ridiculous. Just thought you might want to know so you don't sound ignorant to the locals.

Our culture is influenced by ITALIANS,SPANIARDS,FRENCH AND GERMANS ... Never PORTUGUESE ....... That's why our "Spanish" is different to the rest of the world, we are a mix of cultures :)

wow funny they actually put a giant condom on that giant penis of Osiris. Finally someone knows that those Obelisks all over the world are dicks and shows worship of the SUN god.

was and is the paris of AMERICA! Oh my god dont tell me that you still think that america is a country??????????

why the english-speakers are so ... idiot. you can say Justice Palace instead of Palacio de Justicia.

It's not the "Paris" of Argentina,it's the "Paris" of South America.
