It’s Cinco de Mayo… and yes, you can find killer tacos in Paris 🇲🇽🌮🍸

Planning a future trip to the City of Light? Don’t forget to pencil in your guac fix.

Here are three spots to tuck away for when only a burrito and a margarita will do:
🌯 Terraza Mikuna – Rooftop vibes + bold flavors.
🌮 Boca Mexa – Fast-casual, fiesta-approved.
🥑 El Guacamole – Tiny taqueria, big personality.

Because no matter where you are—Paris or Puebla—some cravings follow you.

Save this post for your next Paris trip!

I’m so excited to share that I’ll be heading to the South of France to attend Symposium 2025 with Gifted Travel Network!

I’ll be sailing the Rhône River aboard Avalon Waterways’ Poetry II for six days of learning, inspiration, and connection with some of the best in the travel world.

Why am I doing this? Because you deserve more than just a vacation—you deserve something unforgettable. I’m always looking for new ways to make your trips smoother, more meaningful, and full of those little “wow” moments that stay with you long after you’re home.

This time away is all about gaining fresh ideas, discovering unique experiences, and deepening my expertise—so when it’s time to plan your next adventure, I’m even more ready to make it amazing.

I can’t wait to bring it all back to you. 💙🇫🇷
