alone in paris | solo travel VLOG

[@moniquegonzalez8907]

Eating alone at a restaurant is easier if you sit at the bar. You’ll easily be able to strike up conversations with other solo diners and it becomes fun!

[@mp7939]

I prefer sitting alone at a table and just be by myself 😊

[@Cool-yh5cz]

Restaurant in paris do not have a bar usually !

[@moniquegonzalez8907]

@@Cool-yh5cz I’ve sat at the bar in some restaurants in Paris. They were not the touristy ones either.

[@Cool-yh5cz]

I live in/ am from paris. It exists but it’s rare. Yes new era small plates places have them sometimes. Not usually

[@dashafilms]

so true!

[@kallmebel]

I actually love dining alone in a foreign place cuz I know I won't bump into anyone I know 😂 and I don't care if strangers judge me. But it's always gonna be hard trying something new for the first time, I feel like it gets more comfortable the more you do it.

[@vitalina2984]

I think the reason I enjoy your vlogs so much is they’re like shots from a movie scene, the effort that goes into making those walking shots of yourself I don’t know if ppl understand how much work that is especially when your shoes are killing you 😭 but I just have to say makes the transitions and the flow of your videos so relaxing and easy to watch! Paired with a chill and fun personality. Sorry went on a rant but new subscriber and binged all your vlogs lol

[@Sarah-yj9zl]

I went to Paris last December (for the first time) and i had the option to either get room service or go out and eat alone bc the person i was with didn't wanna go. I remember thinking to myself, i'm in PARIS ffs let me romanticize my life and go eat by myself so i got super dressed up and went on a fancy candlelit restaurant had a sensational meal watched the Christmas lights and had the best time. at first i felt awkward when they asked "just you?" but then i felt powerful. It made me think of Carrie Bradshaw in that episode where she dined alone with no 'armor'.

I travelled a lot for work many moons ago. Eating alone was something that took me a while to finally feel comfortable doing, but I'm an enthusiastic foodie so I was up for the challenge. It was in the days before smart phones so I would often have a little notebook that I used for writing down recipe ideas and food combinations from the menu while I was dinning. I still use my notebooks for inspiration in the kitchen, they're nice reminders of a different time in my life.

[@macy1326]

I am now in London, doing master degree and it’s the very first time for me to go outside Asia alone. Your blog literally encouraged me to try something by myself🥺🥺 Being in London is still overwhelming and feels lonely (a lot) but I’ll try to appreciate the time I have here. I am looking forward to your next blogs❤❤❤

[@nathaliepena6915]

I went to Kyoto for a few days by myself and went to a fancy place where the chef cooked in front of me and it was so liberating to be there by myself, staring off into space, and watching the chef cook and listen to people talk around me. I can't wait yo go back to Paris to do the same thing there ❤

[@kolorfulkarol]

That sounds heavenly

[@中西-p4m]

Eating by yourself in Japan is easier than in Paris!!

[@nathaliepena6915]

@@中西-p4m I didn't think eating alone in Paris is too much harder but I also prefer to be out and about during the day and people watching while eating so that helps it feel easier for me

Fully obsessed with your vibe You’re so down to earth, realistic, inspiring Love how you take care of yourself Love your relationship Love your cute accent & how unafraid you seem Just wanted to share🩷🩷

[@Miiriamsdictionary]

I love eating and doing activities by myself! I’m the only child and idk I’m just used to it! But it’s nice seeing other people do the same! Glad you tried it!

[@emilyjuliet]

Genuinely so rare that I stumble upon a “living alone” esque vlog that’s actually enjoyable to watch. Keep it up!

[@HeatherMascara]

I love how honest you were about your dining alone experience! 😊 I agree, having dinner alone in a restaurant is rare while I think having breakfast or a coffee alone is much more common, but it should all be normalised. 💕

[@awanderfullifeblog]

Lets normalize eating alone- fully agree! Sitting at the bar really helps. Luckily i'm from a big, fast paced city so its fairly common

[@silvia_music]

I am so happy you loved Paris. I feel like it's a big trend right now for influencers to hate on Paris and I just don't get it -- it's so beautiful!

[@adrianamartins5479]

As someone who has been to Paris several times, and in my opinion this is the most beautiful city in the world, I’m happy about this trend because I’d love to see my favorite city less crowded and with fewer lines for the attractions. The less people go to Paris the better for me to enjoy it.

[@kolorfulkarol]

I’ll never get the hate, Paris felt like I was walking in a dream

[@mkmc94]

They try to look different.

[@champethan9123]

where do you ususally take photos

[@st.genevieve]

People are allowed to dislike what you like . It doesn’t make it a “trend” . A lot of people last summer wanted to travel because it’s the first time they were able to due to covid restrictions . Because of the hype Paris was one of the top on the list . A lot of people were disappointed given the hype and were vocal about it . More people disliked it than liked it but that doesn’t make it a ”trend”. Once we stop categorizing everything on the internet as a trend it will be a much less annoying place . Sincerely someone who dislikes Paris and parisians not because it’s a trend or to “look different” 😂 . Definitely willing to try living with a local to see a different vibe lol .

[@allthingschey]

you're so cute!!! doing things on your own can be sooooooo scary and nerve-racking, but it's exciting and can be so lovely too. I'm proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new!

[@TravelbyDartTV]

When I was there for our TV show, it felt the days like a black-and-white movie in desperate need of some French subtitles. But, whether you're savoring croissants, exploring the Louvre (while trying not to get lost in there), or just soaking in the romantic vibes, Paris is like a city where 'romance meets reality,' and 'clichés' are all part of the charm! I'll love to be back here and hopefully, my travel dart would soon hit Paris.

[@adriennehilll]

EVERYTHING about this vlog Omg🤍

[@katiesdaughterlaurie]

I went to that restaurant when I was there! Considering your dining out choices are always so well planned I’m so pleased with myself for picking there too, can’t wait for more Paris content!

[@TravelAnTS1]

Sometimes being alone is a great way to reflect and reset your heart and brain. I enjoyed your Adventure! Thank you for sharing.

[@marissah8921]

i love, love, love how stylistic your views are. always a delight. thank you!

[@laurial]

I hope you enjoy yourself! I stayed in the same building during my trip there in March. I loved the area and all of the local shop owners were so welcoming. ❤

[@Booklove64]

is this an airbnb, do you have the link or remember the name?

[@bellasusi]

I travel solo (most of the time) and been to Paris over 30x... yet still find having a dinner alone a little intimidating... any other meal is fine but dinner is somehow different. Having earphones and book definitely helps! Well done for doing the first step - it's always the hardest!

[@VaneezyTV]

I love being by myself. Taking yourself out to dinner is a real flex tbh.

[@steffney]

I would probably also be just on my phone the whole time, but I am so proud that you tried to experience the moment without any distractions! 🎉😘😊

[@lamia1689]

One of your french and parisian subscriber here 🙋‍♀️ and i am so happy that you liked the city

[@tavifagascon]

i also feel uncomfortable eating out on my own, but mainly because for me being out is not worth it if i’m not spending it with friends. like, obviously is an important thing to treat ourselves and do things out of our comfort zone. i just feel like in the long run, the money spent eating out are worth it because of the people that you did it with. ❤ ahhhh i hope this makes sense

[@tavifagascon]

Love this blog btw, and all the other ones that you do Alia ❤🥲

[@GirdyTee]

Speaking to solo dining, being introverted that's something I do enjoy and I have found it really isn't as uncommon or perceived as weird by others wherever I have travelled. People are immersed in their own narratives and enjoying hopefully their meals and company that me sitting by myself is just that. My partner and I have also have been together close to five years and we like to have days where we just do our own thing such as dining, doing solo dates. I've found I can recharge my battery in being around other people without having to expend social energy. It also makes me excited to come back to a place with a friend or my partner down the road if it resonates with me. Trying new things will be daunting, I'm so happy you went out of your comfort zone and did have a lovely time. Really appreciated your view as I can relate to it initially being anxiety inducing but as with anything, there are so many perspectives and merits to trying something new especially in your own company.

[@VitaminV29]

Not only did you go to dinner alone - you noticed yourself going to your phone as a security blanket and you preserved! Good for you. I’ve definitely gone to lunch alone but dinner only once I think, need to go more. Thank you for the lug.

[@ElmerPulitzer]

I can't wait yo go back to Paris to do the same thing there

[@kuddelkakes]

Alia, you are a breath of fresh air and so beautiful. Your skin is gorgeous and I enjoy spending time with myself and going to dinner alone. It allows me time to self reflect and enjoy ME! Glad to see you did it....and hopefully more to come....

Exploring Paris alone must've been such a unique experience! 🌍 It's always fascinating how revisiting a place can feel so new and fresh, especially when seen through a solo traveler's eyes. 🗼 I appreciate your candid take on the solo travel experience, especially in a city as mesmerizing as Paris.

I would recommend taking a book with you when eating dinner alone. That way you avoid being on your phone and feeling like you have nothing to do. I Especially do that when waiting for food! But also while eating, so I won’t eat so fast and actually enjoy and indulge.

I relate to you so much on the solo dining thing..Last week I decided that I really wanted to go to x restaurant but I was by myself and told myself I can do it. Girl, I had so much social anxiety that it took my 30 min to recognize the server which worked with me for like a year. Im going on my first ever solo trip in October and it stresses me out, really hoping it won’t keep me from having a good trip!😅

I’ve never had problems with eating at restaurants by myself, but since I’m married and wear a ring I’m even more comfortable. I love taking myself on dates and I feel somewhat extra “safe”. I know you guys don’t wear wedding bands, but maybe you establish a “going out by yourself ring”. I think it’s just that we don’t want be perceived as being alone, which is normal. You did it!
