Regular dude. Big curiosity.

The Paris guide I wish I'd had.

I'm Anthony Ayala — I took my family to Paris in June 2026 and wrote the guide I wish I'd had. I also tinker with DIY projects around the house.

About me

Hi, I'm Anthony.

I live in Houston, Texas with my family. I'm a traveler at heart — I love getting out to see how the rest of the world lives, from the streets of Paris to the coast of Nice.

By day, I sell new homes in Houston.

Around the house, I'm into DIY — builds, fixes, and project ideas.

Travel, done my way.

Just a regular dude sharing what he's into and what he's picking up along the way.
