Paris is known for the finest things in life, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, French cafes, Notre Dame, high-end fashion, pastries, and romance. Have you ever heard someone say that Paris is the most romantic city in the world?
For me, Paris was my ultimate dream. It was a stepping stone for my application for a culinary course scholarship in Paris. I was so passionate about learning and building my career foundation in Paris that I focused on this goal. And then it happened. I finally received an invitation letter from Le Cordon Bleu Paris. What more could I ask for when the gastronomic capital of Paris was all set to become my campus? My time in Paris was a dream come true. I had the opportunity to study culinary arts and techniques, and pursued my passion to become a pastry chef.
Along the way, I made many friends and had the chance to see beautiful landmarks like the spectacular Seine River, which was close to my campus, and the breathtaking Eiffel Tower. My fondest memories of Paris include quiet walks in lovely parks, riding a bicycle to feel the wind on my face, and enjoying tea or coffee with fresh croissants and macarons. I can confidently say that I had some of the best times of my life there, and it was absolute bliss.
This month program focused on the apprenticeship of baking techniques and practical experiences in the professional field. With more time on my hands and a lighter schedule, I decided to try my luck with dating. I explored various dating resources available in Paris, such as dating apps, matchmaking sites, and chat rooms for singles. Dating in Paris was something I had always dreamed of, but my busy schedule had prevented me from experiencing it.
Then, with the help of a fellow apprentice, I met Dylan on social media. To make a long story short, I finally had the chance to experience romance in the city of love. Dylan was the perfect gentleman. He supported my passion for food and baking. Together, we tried the best madeleines, St. Honore, and mille-feuille around the city. I also shared with him my goal to open a French patisserie and cafe in a posh spot in Miami, and he even promised to visit once I returned home to my family.
