26. 1:04my dream
27. 1:06destination Paris Paris is one of the
28. 1:09most beautiful cities in the world the
29. 1:12capital of France and a place filled
30. 1:14with history romance and culture it is

32. 1:20world famous for its delicious food
33. 1:23artistic museums High fashion and of
34. 1:27course the iconic Eiffel Tower
35. 1:30I had always dreamed of visiting Paris
36. 1:33walking along the s River exploring
37. 1:35luxury boutiques and sitting in a cute
38. 1:38little cafe with a croissant and a cup
39. 1:40of
40. 1:41coffee and now that dream was coming
41. 1:46true but before reaching Paris I had to
42. 1:49go through something I had never done
43. 1:52before taking my first flight I started
44. 1:56my day early in the morning feeling a
45. 1:58mix of excitement and
46. 2:00nervousness the first thing I did was
47. 2:02double check my
48. 2:04packing packing is very important when
49. 2:07traveling by flight because Airlines
50. 2:09have strict rules I had two types of
51. 2:12bags checked luggage which is the big
52. 2:15suitcase that goes in the airplane's
53. 2:17cargo and hand luggage a small bag I
54. 2:20could carry with me inside the plane the
55. 2:24airline had a weight limit 23 kg for my
56. 2:27big suitcase and 7 kg for my hand
57. 2:30luggage I packed my clothes shoes
58. 2:33toiletries and other Essentials but then
59. 2:37just before leaving for the airport I
60. 2:39realized I forgot my
61. 2:42medicine I panicked for a moment but
62. 2:45then I calmed myself down because I
63. 2:48remembered something very useful
64. 2:50airports have medical
65. 2:52shops so if you ever forget something
66. 2:55important like medicine don't worry you
67. 2:58can buy it at the airport
68. 3:00with everything packed I took my
69. 3:02passport Visa tickets and some cash in
70. 3:05dollars and Euros always carry some cash
71. 3:08when traveling because not all places
72. 3:10except cards and exchanging money at the
73. 3:13airport is more
74. 3:14expensive I booked a taxi to the airport
75. 3:18and as I sat in the car watching the
76. 3:20city lights pass by my heart was
77. 3:23racing this was really
78. 3:26happening as I entered the airport I was
79. 3:29greeted by a huge bright terminal full
80. 3:31of travelers from all over the world
81. 3:34there were big digital screens
82. 3:36displaying flight details people rushing
83. 3:39with their luggage families saying
84. 3:41goodbye and Airport staff helping
85. 3:44passengers it felt like stepping into a
86. 3:47different
87. 3:48world the first thing I had to do was
88. 3:51check in I went to my Airlines counter
89. 3:54showed my passport and ticket and they
90. 3:56gave me my boarding pass my check
91. 3:59luggage was weighed and sent to the
92. 4:02airplane a little tip if your luggage is
93. 4:06overweight you will have to pay extra so
94. 4:08always check the weight before leaving
95. 4:11home next came the part that made me a
96. 4:13little nervous Security check this is
97. 4:17where all passengers must pass through a
98. 4:19scanner and their hand luggage is
99. 4:21checked for safety
100. 4:22reasons I placed my handbag phone laptop
101. 4:26and jacket in a
102. 4:27tray suddenly the the officer told me to
103. 4:30remove my watch belt and shoes I wasn't
104. 4:34expecting that but then I saw everyone
105. 4:37else doing the
106. 4:38same so if this happens to you don't
107. 4:41feel shy it happens to
108. 4:44everyone I walked through the security
109. 4:46scanner and thankfully there were no
110. 4:49issues but remember sharp objects like
111. 4:53scissors liquids above 100 mlit and even
112. 4:57water bottles are not allowed in hand
113. 4:58luggage
114. 5:00after security it was time for
115. 5:03immigration this is where officers check
116. 5:05your passport visa and travel
117. 5:08documents they asked me a few
118. 5:11questions why I was traveling to Paris
119. 5:14where I would stay and when I would
120. 5:17return I answered confidently and they
121. 5:20stamped my
122. 5:21passport with my documents cleared I had
123. 5:24some free time before boarding my flight
124. 5:27I decided to explore the airport and it
125. 5:30was one of the most fun parts of the
126. 5:32journey the airport was like a mini City
127. 5:36there were luxury shops restaurants
128. 5:39bookstores and even lounges where people
129. 5:42could relax I walked into a duty-free
130. 5:44shop and saw perfumes chocolates and
131. 5:47expensive brands at lower prices because
132. 5:49they were
133. 5:51taxfree I was feeling hungry so I went
134. 5:54to the food court and had a bowl of hot
135. 5:56noodles it felt so good to relax and
136. 5:59enjoy my meal While Watching airplanes

147. 6:28airplane was modern clean and
148. 6:31comfortable the cabin crew greeted me
149. 6:34with a warm smile and I found my seat
150. 6:37easily the seat was cozy and the air
151. 6:39smelled fresh I placed my handbag under
152. 6:42the seat in front of me fastened my seat

156. 6:54fast then I heard the Pilot's voice
157. 6:59cabin
158. 7:00prepare for
159. 7:01takeoff within seconds the plane
160. 7:03accelerated the ground disappeared and I
161. 7:06was in the sky I looked out of the
162. 7:09window the city below became smaller and
163. 7:12smaller until all I could see were
164. 7:14fluffy white clouds it felt like
165. 7:17floating in a dream I had butterflies in
166. 7:20my stomach but it was the most amazing
167. 7:23feeling
168. 7:24ever as I relaxed into my seat I thought
169. 7:27about how a few hours ago I was standing
170. 7:30in an airport and now I was flying high
171. 7:33above the world traveling alone for the
172. 7:36first time might seem scary but trust me
