Watch “Living Alone In Paris”

Shayna Klee, an American artist and poet living in Paris (and who we interviewed) takes us along with her on a self care kind of day. The visual artist whose popular YouTube channel The Purple Palace is a space for art students like herself and creative expats who find themselves in total wanderlust.

In this vlog, Shayna walks through Paris, a city she has loved even after these solemn years of solitude during the pandemic and remains inspired to life’s simple joys, a cafe in the afternoon and just being with herself. If you’re a subscriber to her channel, you’ve watched Shayna’s personal growth from a young art student to an independent, fiercely imaginative, creative woman she is becoming every day. Her channel doesn’t fail to show a personal, close to realistic outlook on what it’s like to be a young artist and an expat in Paris.

The message that also comes clear is that being alone, is no threat to your own happiness. When you can start to be comfortable being with yourself, that is in fact, happiness. To find contentment in the little joys, like taking yourself out on a date.
