What was so significant about your time in Paris is that you actually LIVED there... you weren't an exchange student or someone just on an extended stay....you had to learn about the Paris apartment rental system, French politics etc....AND you experienced the COVID19 lock down Parisian style....Girl, you went through a LOT!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Ahhh yes so much 🥲😵‍💫. What a time - feel so much stronger having gone through it though

[@charlesblack1086]

Tiff this was great having you revisit the feelings of going back to Paris. I first discovered you because of my own desire to someday move to Paris and get French fluent. You are so very together with your ability to make a change when your soul tells you to. Keep sharing and keep growing. You help so many people. Thank you.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thanks so much for sharing this! I really appreciate it

[@cathywaters6233]

I lived abroad in London and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It was hard for me to return to the U.S. as well. Several years later I went back for a visit and had a similar experience to my "2nd home" as you had to yours. It really is amazing how things come full circle as we grow in life. I just returned from a solo trip to Paris. I loved it! Wonderful people, food and culture. I hope to go back with friends in the coming year. Thank you for sharing your experience. I enjoyed hearing about it and I wish you all the best in life!!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Aww thanks for sharing a bit of your story! It really is so cool how life comes full circle. So glad you enjoyed this episode!

[@dude6185q]

Can I ask where you stayed in Paris? will be traveling there this summer and looking for accommodation. Thanks!

[@TiffanieDavis]

@@dude6185q I stayed at the Prince Albert hotel in Montmartre but I don’t recommend it! Idk it was kind of musty in my opinion

[@cathywaters6233]

@@dude6185q I stayed at Hotel Fontaines du Luxembourg in the 6th Arrondissement. It's a 3-star boutique hotel down the street from Luxembourg Gardens. It is a wonderful hotel, with a friendly staff. I enjoyed my stay. The area was wonderful as well. It's very Parisian, near St. Germain and Cafe Flore-which I loved. I wanted an authentic experience that was safe for me as a solo female traveler, and I got it. There were other Americans in the area as well. From my understanding the 6th arrondissement has a great rating for American solo travelers and those with families. I was a 2-minute walk from Luxemburg Gardens. A 10-minute walk from the Pantheon and about a 20-minute walk from Norte Dame and the Seine River. I highly recommend that area, they have wonderful hotels at an affordable price. I hope you have a wonderful trip this summer!

I have been following you since your Paris days and enjoy your journey...It has helped me in my transition from relocation, to living with someone and now getting a shift in my career.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Aww so glad to hear!

[@tranquilitytravels2994]

So good to see you. Your experience in Paris will shape the rest of your life.

[@ginaloveslife632]

❤ your voice!!!! You truly have a radio voice!! Watch out NPR!!!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Aww thank you!!

[@stephanied.k.3589]

I am a pure KZbin junkie and follow 99.9% of podcasts thru KZbin but your LA Prodcast voice is amazing ❤

[@TiffanieDavis]

Ahh omg thank you!! 🥹🤍

[@jm2307]

Your Paris experience totally resonates! My first time there, I was a totally different person and the experience of being there was transformative. When I left, I found myself questioning everything. I went back years later in a space where my life was so much better, so much closer to everything I’d dreamed of that first time leaving Paris. And going back was a reminder of that. Im glad you were able to have a confident conversation in French - that’s my next goal! ❤

[@TiffanieDavis]

Awww I love this thanks so much for sharing a bit of your story! Ahh girlll trust me it was basic level French lol but I was so happy about it!

[@officialnicholas1]

This video kept popping up on my KZbin and I didn’t know why - I was like wtf - then I clicked and I was like OH ITS TIFF - w ur new hair I barely recognized u w this amazing new look ❤️😍

[@TiffanieDavis]

Lol!!! Hahaha it’s meeee

[@CaribbeanQn]

Beautiful reflections Tiff! Loving your podcast❤

[@carlascalling]

I'm loving this Tiff! Listening while I WFH in London. Been feeling like I want to move back to Paris, but this is reminding me to just enjoy the adventure!!! 💗

[@TiffanieDavis]

Awww I’m so glad this was helpful!! ❤

[@charyll3994]

I’m so glad you’re back!

[@TiffanieDavis]

So glad to be back 😄

[@clairemccallumgibney]

I have a deep connection to Paris, I have visited every year for the last 13 years. It feels like home for me ❤ ❤❤

[@Kenneth-tx8mg]

When you said you and the hairdresser were "unwell" that was too funny, for some reason.🤣

[@TiffanieDavis]

LOL! We were!!

[@apierre93]

I had similar feelings when I visited Brooklyn after being gone for like 5-6 years. I have a love/hate relationship with the experience I had living there, so I was nervous about what negative feelings might come up (some did), but it ended just feeling super natural like I never left.

[@TiffanieDavis]

aww thanks for sharing girl! 100% felt the same way

[@leticiaolivar5991]

I’m from LA and been watching you while you were in Paris. ❤

[@gracebergeron949]

Girl, I am so happy for you!!!❤

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thank youuu 🥹🤍

[@imancalista8886]

You are such an inspiration ❤

[@TiffanieDavis]

[@clairemccallumgibney]

I love your story about your experiences in Paris ❤

[@TiffanieDavis]

Aww TY

[@ladyphenom84]

I love “the real ones” for the community name!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Yay!!

[@mzmocha911]

Ur Soo inspirational as a black woman living in L.A. who actually has lived in and travels around Europe.. So often people in L.A have a mindset that L.A. is the end all omg😂

[@TiffanieDavis]

Aw thank you! Lol yeah LA is cool for now, not sure if I'll settle here though.

[@agyos]

Magnifique! Merci!!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Aww merci bcp 🤍

[@DebraJohnson]

Great episode. I’d love to hear how much you feel the lockdowns impacted your experience in Paris.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Tysm! Oh I have a few videos up on my channel about navigating Paris during the pandemic - have you watched those ones yet?

[@DebraJohnson]

@@TiffanieDavisI watched most of the videos you made in Paris, but I’ll check. Thanks.

[@antibash691]

I think it wasn't a real taxi. Lately, there are people pretending to be taxis at CDG airport. This is a real problem for real taxis and for the police who are doing their best to stop this. So sorry for you.

[@Gorgeous_endya]

Hi Tiffanie. I want to know do you ever plan to become a news reporter or a talk show host? And do you have advice for someone who wants to move to LA without a job lined up?

[@TiffanieDavis]

Hmmm I don't think I could handle the news but talk show host could be a vibe! Hmm, I would say if you feel comfortable enough & have the security to move without a job - why not! I'm not sure how competitive the market is here though as I had a job before I moved here. But definitely start looking on job sites asap if that's your plan

[@sheliac601]

Hi Tiffanie… I loved the 2nd podcast…my husband and I are going to London, Paris and Rome in April to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary….I’m trying to learn the bare minimum of common French phrases 😬…😅😅

[@TiffanieDavis]

Omg so fun have the best time!! Yess learn a few phrases and you’ll be good! A lot of people speak English there now like esp at tourist sites & restaurants so I think you’ll be okay!

[@mrs.stewart6833]

Hi Tiffanie, I like your new commentary. Cute t shirt..

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thank you! Got it from H&M!!

[@oh.kaylahh]

The same thing happened to a friend and I in Paris when we were trying to get a taxi leave a concert out towards Bois de Boulogne 😭

[@TiffanieDavis]

omg really! girl i was like now wait a minute...

[@keanumoore]

Ok but why EXACTLY did u leave Paris?

[@TiffanieDavis]

I have a video up on my channel about this! Check it out :)

[@truthhurts8819]

❤

[@TiffanieDavis]

❤❤❤

[@bernadettemckenzie7561]

The lesson learned is international flights require you to be at the airport 3 hours prior to the flight.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Lol yes!! We were there early but spent too much time hanging at PF Chang’s 😂

[@judyt.5702]

There you are. Hi❤

[@TiffanieDavis]

Hey heyyyy

[@cruisin-Paris]

:)

[@TiffanieDavis]

❤❤❤

[@patriciateague8677]

I asked for a carafe d'eau and the waitress's response was, "anglais" and she ran off to find someone that she thought could understand me. So much for the time I spent trying to speak the language. lol

[@TiffanieDavis]

Lol!!!

[@PeopzWorldMedia]

Too much filler chat. I am certain that potential US residents or expats considering a life in Paris-France will learn nothing from your journey by being so non-specific about what you actually experienced. Very tiring waiting for truly helpful specifics, culture facts, and relocation details --- the reason I started watching. Truly troublesome as a potential Black expat.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Oop..that wasn't the intention of this video. I have a handful of videos up on my channel about my experience living in Paris & navigating French culture if that's what you're looking for...

[@mareerogers364]

PF Changs😂😂😂😂The worst food eatery on the planet😢

[@gailalbers1430]

there is too much ( what to call it ? ) useless time - uninteresting filler flapping gums - especially at the start of the video . Why ? it’s off putting to have to wade through that - but then ; I’m not a longtime watcher so all that is a waste of time to me.

[@Jtx2024]

You can sing -- that was on point!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Hahaha! I really cannot I promise
