In honor of the closing ceremony at Paris Olympics 🇫🇷 I’m sharing best moments of our 4 days in Paris. What a whirlwind of emotions!

Paris organized quite a spectacular event for all of us! I loved all the public transport options, meeting athletes and fans in metro, the cheering and signing, friendless of staff and volunteers, fan zones… and you can’t take away the charm of Parisian flair and food.

Events we attended: Athletics, tennis 🎾 for doubles and singles for both bronze and gold medals, women’s volleyball 🏐 we had tickets for Basketball, which was hosted at North of France, but unfortunately we couldn’t route ourselves that way logistically.

What sport did watch closely during the Olympics?

Today is a milestone day as I’m celebrating my 20 years of immigration to the United States 🇺🇸 Two decades! From the initial struggles of finding my footing, from making new friends to building a life, it’s been an incredible journey. Grateful for the opportunities, the challenges, and the growth and my husband and kids by my side. Happy birthday ‘Merica and a “Happy immigration day” to me 🇺🇸

💫 Finally got photos of the Northern Lights from the guide in Lapland! Absolutely magical experience! Looking at the photos I remember how miserable and cold we were at the moment 😆🥶 just thankful for those people who do it on the daily basis and love it!!

If you happen to make your way to Scandinavia or Alaska, in the winter, it’s not crucial to have a guide with you. Just wait for the open skies, drive away from the city lights, find an open field or lake and watch Aurora work its magic!!
