Where am I in Paris?

When you’re travelling it’s easy to get lost, not be able to read a map, or speak the language to ask a question.

Today’s tip is to take a digital photo of your hotel after you step out into the street, and walk to the nearest corner and take a photo of the street signs.

Take a photo of the metro sign as you go down into the metro, as there are often 4 or even 5 entrances to the same metro station in Paris, and you’ll be able to work out which one to exit from when you return later in the day.

You can use these photos to show to strangers if you’re lost, or simply to work out how to return to your hotel.

Of course you can always grab a business card from the front desk of your hotel or accommodation place, but sometimes they run out of cards, or there’s no-one at the desk, or lots of other reasons.

Using this tip will also get you speaking with locals and trying to communicate … and isn’t that why you decided to travel in the first place? To visit foreign lands and meet the locals? :-)

Have a fabulous time!
