How I Got My First Press Trip
Press trips are a brass ring that many travel bloggers reach for, since it's very difficult for many of us to fund all of our own travel and still have a lot to blog about.

I am not strictly a France blogger, but will be traveling to Paris next month, so I will be blogging about Paris for awhile. I thought it would be good to connect with more experienced France bloggers in the meantime.
Cheers,

Jeff
