About Emily Tran

Some people collect countries. I keep going back to Paris.

I’ve traveled to more than 15 countries, but nowhere feels quite like Paris. No matter how many times I visit, there’s always another street to wander down, another museum to explore, or another neighborhood that surprises me.

That’s why I created this website.

I want to make planning your trip easier. Whether you’re visiting Paris for the first time or coming back for another visit, you’ll find practical guides based on real experience, not just a list of attractions.

I’ve spent many days exploring the city with the Paris Museum Pass, visiting everything from famous landmarks like the Louvre and Sainte-Chapelle to smaller museums that many visitors never make time for.

Every trip has taught me something new, and I use those lessons to help you get more out of your own visit.

You’ll find honest advice on what to book in advance, what’s actually worth seeing, how to avoid common mistakes, and how to build an itinerary that fits your interests instead of trying to cram everything into a few days.

Why Paris?

It started with a single trip.

Like many people, I arrived with a list of famous places I wanted to see. But what stayed with me wasn’t just the Eiffel Tower or the Louvre. It was sitting in a quiet square with a coffee, walking along the Seine in the evening, getting lost in Le Marais, and stumbling across places I hadn’t planned to visit.

That’s what keeps bringing me back.

Every visit feels different. Some trips are filled with museums and historic landmarks. Others are about spending an afternoon in a park, exploring a neighborhood market, or finding a café that becomes my favorite for the week.

The more time I spend in Paris, the more I realize it’s a city you never really finish discovering.

Why Trust My Guides?

I don’t live in Paris, and I think that’s an advantage.

I plan every trip the same way you do. I compare museum passes, book attraction tickets, work out the fastest metro routes, decide where to stay, and figure out what can realistically fit into each day.

That means I notice the things visitors actually care about: how long attractions take, whether a pass is worth buying, which entrances save time, and which places live up to the hype.

Every guide is written to answer the questions I had while planning my own trips, so you can spend less time researching and more time enjoying Paris.

I hope these guides help you discover a city you’ll want to come back to, just as I always do.
