As a young child, I fell in love with 'The Phantom of the Opera' & visited the Palais Garnier. Later whilst walking the cobble-stoned streets of Montmartre, I decided to move there and fell in love for the first time in Paris, not only with France.

After conquering the cobblestone of Paris as a student, I wandered to the markets of Provence as a teacher. I never say no to a cheese plate or a bottle of rosé. I'm currently based in Washington, D.C., where I write about France on my blog and am on a constant search for the best baguette across the Atlantic. Follow me on Twitter, Instagram, and Google +.
