I went on a solo trip to Paris after a breakup. It helped me start healing.

Ah, Paris. Otherwise known as the "City of Love." I've been incredibly lucky (and what some would even say brave) enough to travel solo both in the United States and abroad, like when I went horseback riding in Zion National Park by myself or did a quick jaunt in London and met a lover on my trip. But I've never ventured to Paris alone — until now.
