Hey guys! I’m Tiff - a lover of food, travel, and good vibes. After traveling to Italy when I was 16, I made a promise to myself that I would live abroad before I was 30. And I made it happen! In 2017, I tapped out of my #PRgirl lifestyle to pursue an MBA in Paris. Yes, Paris! The timing was all too perfect. Jumping out of my comfort zone and moving to Paris, was the scariest thing that I’ve done in life thus far, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Now that I’m finally settling into life here, I’ve decided to refocus some of my energy on a project that I’ve been trying (and failing) to launch for a while - my KZbin channel! This channel is my outlet for sharing more about my life abroad and the life lessons learned along the way.
________
This video is all about what is life really like in france, what is life in paris really like, what is life really like abroad, i got kicked out of my apartment in paris, paris apartment, apartment paris, getting kicked out of my apartment, what is it like living in paris, welcome to my life in paris, welcome to my life abroad, expat in paris, life in paris 2019, life abroad 2019, life lessons and life abroad, paris vlogger, this is my life in paris, tiffanie davis, living abroad 2019

[@babbumaan9556]

Hi mam I need a rent house please help me I have no living area me n my wife we are help less😓

[@shonyajones5561]

I guess that's true all things happen for a reason 😊

[@thepurplepalace85]

You filming this video in a café giving no fcks with people sitting next to you and all is a VIBE!! haha love it

[@TiffanieDavis]

LOL omg this was one of my very first videos 🤣☠️. Literally had to do so many takes I know every around me was over it 😂

[@annabarr1304]

As of last year, Paris passed rent control for all long term rentals (longer than a year), you can find out the price you should be paying for the location, built, furnished or unfurnished using a calculator through the Marie's website. Don't want anyone to get ripped off in the future!

[@parisbreakfast]

Very interesting to know about..Thank you Anna. I will try to find it. Cheers

[@cassg3062]

I love the way you edited and told the story, giving me 90s black sitcom vibes 😍

[@greenbyrd3665]

You're too polite to say it, so I'll say it for you. That little toad stole your cameras! He sounds creepy. Glad you got out of there.

[@thatgenxlife800]

God was clearing the deck, girl. Sometimes we don't move until we're pushed. So happy that things turned out well for you and that now you're in a good place.

[@TiffanieDavis]

100% agree!! I needed that push!!

[@Cyber_Diva]

Sounds like your landlord was infatuated with you and was heartbroken when you decided to leave! Good thing it ended the way that it did and not any worse.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Ahhh yikessss. So glad I'm out of there! x

[@florastewart7957]

Yeah. Dude was trying to play with you.

[@florastewart7957]

God is blessing you for your faith.

[@melissaallen3918]

I like your positive attitude & the idea/thought of things happening for a purpose. *My advice: No matter if you are renting/buying in U.S., France, UK, etc. order a security camera from Amazon. You definitely need to know if someone is coming into your place wherever you live, when you are not there*. You will never know if "Mr. T." stole the cameras or if he never changes the locks on the studio ...considering he wasn't paying the Electric Bill, doesn't seem like he would pay for new locks/keys every time someone moved out. You also might go through an agent & not go alone even if you don't have an agent to look at a place.

[@chevas1youtubization]

When you love coming home, you're in the right place!

[@embracewithchristina]

🙌

[@brendajones4052]

I just wanted to compliment you on how maturely you handled this situation.

[@backintimealwyn5736]

she could have suied his ass. Everything from begining to end was illegal, he could have faced jail time and he would have had to pay the rents back + 5000 euros.

[@gypseenomad3956]

A blessing in the chaos. Going through something similar with a landlord, now buying a gorgeous condo because of it. Love love love your positvity!!!

[@OceanicNASA]

Always have a paper trail and never pay in cash. I was hit hard twice a few years ago.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Lesson learned 😓. So insane, sorry that it happened to you as well.

[@ATaviaTatiana]

So terrible that this happened to you! But I must say I am so happy to see someone like me also making videos in Paris! Binge watching your videos now. :-)

[@TiffanieDavis]

I just peeped your channel and so cool that you’re making videos about traveling and your experience abroad too 🙌🏾 I love it!!

[@justlanchen]

I love the way you filmed this video!!! So entertaining. So happy I found your channel

[@catherineofsweden905]

Subscribed when you gave your inspirational words at the end. You are one strong woman. I have been through a lot in a lot of countries and coming out of my biggest challenge to date, really needed to hear that and from someone that looks and sounds like an angel. Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤️

[@justlanchen]

I’m so happy to hear everything worked out for you

[@angelahudson5812]

Just found your channel! I studied French for 6 years and have visited Paris 3 times. Living there is a dream of mine! I’m an AA woman, semi-retired at 62 years old. It would be a huge change for me, however. It’s so nice to see you living and thriving there. Thank you for sharing your life in Paris. Blessings to you! 😊

[@TiffanieDavis]

That's absolutely amazing! It would be a change, but never too late! I hope you make it back out here soon :)

[@vq2vx]

Binge-watching your videos; love your spirituality & messages 😭💙

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thank you!! More to come! 🙌🏾

[@Offensive_Username]

Despite the horrible story, the video editing is really good. Use of various locations, no overload of flashy effects geared towards ADHD kids.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thank you! Haha, tried to mix it up a bit with this one :)

[@misslee765]

Looking a your NEW place now .. It was a blessing !

[@TiffanieDavis]

Always a blessing in the chaos!

[@marllyburnett4433]

Dear Tiff, my Daughter and I have started watching you, we love Parisian life and we found you recently and we think you are great. So pleased you have that lovely new apartment. It's such a blessing you left the last place. Best wishes to you, you are adorable xx

[@Cuernavacachica02]

Loved your story and you’re right. When stuff happens we need to be looking for the blessing that’s on the way!!!

[@CarmenO]

I love how positive you are! Always looking at the bright side! Your videos are so informative thanks so much!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thank you! So glad you’ve been enjoying them!

[@crystaljohnson4700]

Thanks, Tiff! For keeping it real with us! Good information to know!

[@user-xx7pg3vw9k]

I am so happy that you are out of that sketchy situation and landed in such a beautiful place.

[@misty1tl]

I love your story. It’s refreshing, some people who live abroad are not as resilient, sometimes you have to take what life throws at you and run with it.

[@99rylee]

Your landlord sounds like a creepy guy, exploited your rights as a tenant. This guy needs to be black listed.

[@-HRH]

This is the bizzarest thing! As I was watching your (terrific btw) video, I kept humming Fred Hammond’s Your Steps Are Ordered!!! And then u mentioned it! But what a nightmare u went through. Keep ya heeeeead up! ✊🏾

[@TiffanieDavis]

HRH Our steps are definitely ordered!! 🙌🏾 It was insaneeee 🤯, so glad to be out of that place!!

[@emiliecheerio8679]

I love your attitude! Thank you for sharing your story. And ur new home looks amazing!

[@OtterHillDesigns]

I love your attitude and perspective! How blessed you are and thank you for sharing your journey!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thank you so much and happy to share my story in this way! xx

[@mrsmitchell27]

Wow, I am so very sorry to hear about your tough time but very happy to know that you found something much better! That apartment that you showed was so little and to think your problems about it were so big,

[@K-Love77]

I love your positive perspective on everything! I adore this channel! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thank you!

[@jaune-soleil]

“Our steps aren’t ordered” A WORD! AMEN!!! *SUBSCRIBED* 🖤

[@malb93]

Glad to know everything worked out for you at the end 😊 I’ve been living in Paris for 4 years now

[@writeract2]

I love what you ended on - something i constantly need to keep in mind and learn in my walk as a believer.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Yass! Always a blessing in the chaos! 🙌🏾

[@nancypettitt1211]

Just think of it as lesson learned. Look at what you have now! I LOVE Paris and I am glad you are making it there. Please have a great time and enjoy your new place!

[@TiffanieDavis]

100%! A huge learning definitely came out of this one. Glad to be in a better place and thank you!

[@marlenahawkins2778]

You have such a great attitude. Thanks for the encouragement at the end. 😃

[@laurailunga7000]

Thank you for this message I needed to hear this. Waiting for my something better

[@dahottestyet]

This was right on time for me. Our steps are ordered. 🙌🏽

[@TequilaRose203]

Yesss, Trust in the process!! I came here from your dating in paris video. Safe to say I am so happy you got out of this and into a situation that led you to find your Bf

[@tlemay2492]

Love your stories. Thank you for sharing. 💕

[@weisabunny]

You’re gorgeous, love hearing your stories, I wish I’d been so brave at your age and LOVE your positive attitude 💜💜💜💜

[@pinalace6815]

I had ALMOST the EXACT experiment as you did in paris! Apartment owner can some times really take advantage of the fact that it can be difficult finding housing inside the city. I’ve lived in France for 10 years now, 5 years in Paris and this has happened to so many people I know

[@TiffanieDavis]

So insane!! Yeah, he would tell me all the time that if I tried to look for another apartment it would be too expensive, etc. so glad I’m out of there

[@kaysee482]

Yaaaas! Loved the end of this video! So needed that positive message right now. And I'm sure I'm the 1000-th person to say this but your hair is BEAUTIFUL!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thank youuu!! And yesss girl there's always a blessing in the chaos! x

[@clisaa6974]

I studied abroad in London( thankfully my flat was amazing and provided for by my uni already. It was a blessing but it's like that for most study abroad programs for US students), and can't even imagine how it would be to look for an apartment in Europe by myself oneday. But, luckily for you everything worked out well and how it was supposed to be. And, nothing truly bad happened with that crazy guy. It sucks how Paris makes it so hard for people to get a freakin apartment that people like you when first desperate need to resort to "under the table" kind of deals. Makes me so mad! I remember Damon Domunique another YTber talking about how difficult it was for even him! And, he was being supported or something by the French government to live and work in France ( I forget what the term is haha. ). On the one hand I get it but on the other hand it's crazy! I think for me from watching all these nightmare stories i would have to go through the legit route first finding a real rental agency in whatever country i live in one day and hopefully always look for a women landlord in Europe- cause people can be weird. Even women. But, more so men, unfortunately. Anywho, wish you all kinds of good and wonderful success in whatever you do! :)

[@maureencoyle666]

Great video! Im s glad your positive arttitude brought you love and a great. Home you love! Awesome!!

[@TiffanieDavis]

Thank you so much!!

[@sksk270]

Just discovered your vlog. Good on you that things have turned out for the better! Those kind of messed up arrangements can really affect a person and its amazing how you've managed to keep it together. I would've been too distraught and let it all get to me. Have also just moved and started living in France but South in the countryside, Burgundy area, from Malaysia. It's still a big learning curve. Kudos to your positive spirit! Something I need to get better at.

[@stephanieromero6495]

Your story is giving me so much needed faith right now!!!! Thank you for sharing. Also please drop that lipstick shade it's 🔥🔥🔥

[@starrjohnson1327]

Wow I wasn't expecting this ending. I have gone through similar situations with apartments and jobs. Each time God sent me somewhere better!

[@darrenleepack5433]

Tiffanie I love your Attitude! You are awesome! I've had some experience with living in Paris also and boy oh boy can it really mess with one's emotional state! Good for you Tiffanie!! :)

Great storytime! Thank you.

[@DB0116]

I am currently going through a hellish, chaotic situation. Similar landlord story but worse and I am left homeless, staying with the most toxic family member I have. The stress has had me sick with headaches and fatigue and this family member is definitely talking behind my back in hopes that if no one is talking to me I can’t tell her disgusting horrible secrets....Your story has encouraged me. There is something better coming. Thank you.

[@TiffanieDavis]

Oh wow! Hoping your blessing comes sooner rather than later but just know it’s on it’s way! 🙌🏾

As a tourist I could not rent a apartment because I didn’t have a job or a grantor* but with a tourist visa I couldn’t work! It was a straight mess! I was living in hotels and moved in with my French teacher and his family then started renting an apartment from my French teacher!!
