I took 5 years of French thru Jr High & High school and half of my house is literally Paris everything

I've researched the different Arrondisements, what is where, where I really want to take walking tours, etc. I am a Hemingway in the 20's kinda Paris junkie too... lol I think I will get my TEFL certificate and use it to work PT teaching kids English as my "retirement."

I have told my kids for years when they turn 18 I am OUT. Passport in hand and sell the fucking house and just GO! (3 more years! )
