Paris Memories 🇫🇷
Maybe I love Paris because it reminds me a little of Istanbul.
Growing up in Istanbul, I’m used to crowds.
To noise, layers of stories, lives overlapping.
Paris feels the same in a way
busy, alive, never dull.
Romantic, but not pretending to be something it isn’t.
Its history doesn’t sit quietly in museums; it breathes in the streets.
The sea?
Nothing - absolutely nothing - replaces the Bosphorus for me.
That’s non-negotiable.
But Paris isn’t about the sea.
It connects with you through atmosphere, rhythm, soul.
A boat ride on the Seine made me realise something:
some cities don’t exhaust you,
they simply slow you down.
Hot chocolate at Angelina,
macarons that feel like tiny works of art -
not tourist clichés, but part of the city’s pace.
I love London deeply.
Its calm, its order, the politeness of people.
London lets me breathe.
Paris, on the other hand, gently unsettles my heart.
Just like Istanbul.❤️
And travelling…
The real gift of it isn’t ticking off plac...
