Question. What's something that you'd really like to do in Paris for the first time?

That is essentially the question that I asked all of my friends, all 13 of them, to come up with the bucket list 2022 for the Eiffel Tower.

If you've been around for a while listening, you know exactly what I'm talking about. I do this every year.

If you're brand new, I'll give you the 10 second summary.

You list five things that you really want to do in Paris in 2022, that you've never done before,

and then you try and do them.

It's an excuse to explore the city, and it works if you're a tourist, if you're a long-time resident, and it also works as a way to spend more time with your friends doing cool stuff.

So in today's episode, I have my friend, Shelley, an art consultant who's been in Paris for about seven years.

She is the reigning champion of the Eiffel Tower bucket list.

In fact, she's the only person to ever complete her whole list,

and she did it about three years ago now. So she's the expert. Even though this is my thing,

she is the expert. And I got her on to talk over her list, to explain the things that someone

who's been in Paris, like she has for seven years, what she

wants to do still in the city. We go through my list. They're quite different, both of our

lists. But then we also go through the list of some of my friends, some of whom are French.

They've lived here their whole life, some of whom I've been here only a year. The idea for you guys at home is hopefully you'll be inspired to find some new things in Paris.

All of it is going to be on the website, theaitheltaire.com.

The other thing is, if you can't make it to Paris this year, you can do a little bit of dreaming.

You can plan your next trip.

You can think of some of the cool things that are here to do that we talk about. Or, and I highly encourage this as well, you can write a

bucket list for your own city. Maybe you live in the middle of Tasmania in a town with a population

of 600. You can do a list too. I'm sure there's five things to find there. Write a comment on my social media with your own list.
