A Dream Come True
Picture this: I'm a marketing student chosen to participate in the IMC Global Field Intensive program at NYU SPS, all the way from Puerto Rico. Paris became the ultimate backdrop for my marketing dreams to unfold, blending the magic of the city with the art of luxury and advertising. Who could resist such a golden opportunity?
Eiffel Tower Feels and The Wonders of Paris
Touching down in Paris for the very first time, a mix of excitement and nervousness surged through my veins. But hey, adrenaline is a marketer's best friend! Before the program kicked off, I had three glorious days to explore the city. The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame, Montmartre & even Disneyland Paris—oh là là! I soaked in the iconic sights, capturing moments that made my heart fill with joy.
From Cute Boutique to Uni Dorms
My Parisian adventure started with a cute boutique hotel called Paris France Hotel. The view was pure magic, and the lively atmosphere introduced me to vibrant bars and cozy cafes. Later, I shifted gears and settled into the NYU dorms in Cité Universitaire. It was a change of pace that offered a unique peek into the daily life of Parisians. Take a look!
Au Revoir, Stereotypes
Parisians get a bad rap sometimes—people warned me about rude encounters and a dirty city. But guess what? That couldn't be further from the truth! Paris greeted me with open arms, and I found the city impeccably maintained and its inhabitants warm and welcoming. Stereotypes shattered, my heart bloomed with affection for this remarkable place. A City Bursting with Artistic Inspiration
Paris breathed life into my marketing soul as I wandered through its bustling streets. From the glamorous Champs-Élysées to the trendy Le Marais district, I soaked up the vibrant atmosphere that fuels the city's advertising scene. Parisian billboards, shop displays, and eye-catching visuals ignited my imagination, fueling my passion for the art of advertising.
Slow Down, Embrace the Joie de Vivre
Living in the fast-paced world of New York City, Paris taught me a valuable lesson: slow down and savor life's moments. Parisians master the art of taking their time, and I gladly followed suit. From leisurely strolls along the Seine to lingering at charming sidewalk cafes, I learned the true meaning of joie de vivre. Magnifique! The Grand Finale
