Another crisis, another solution, another lesson in how awesome people can be.
I have tickets booked for Paris this weekend. Normally they are around 100 euros both ways, but we found tickets for 70, and this weekend is Nuit Blanche, which is some sort of all-night art festival free thing (can you tell I haven't done my research?).
A friend had said she had found an apartment for that weekend for our group of four (airbnb - awesome resource, you can sublet apartments for a short amount of time). But that fell through, it turns out it was a little too far away from Paris to be worth it.
So we moved on to hostels, which looked like they were going to be twice as expensive. I had already spending 70 euros for essentially a day and a half, so I was being a bit stingy with money.
Last resort: I fb messaged a girl from the UW, also in the Jackson School, who I knew was studying in Paris, asking if she had any tips for me. We talked for a bit and she ended up letting me stay at her place.
What. A. Relief! I don't think I can overemphasize my gratitude!
So, this weekend : Paris. No sleep.
I went there last year and didn't like it much, time to redeem yourself city of lights.
