ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Iā€™m a seasoned traveler with experience in over 30 countries around the world, whoā€™s been lucky enough to have lived in both France & the UK. Now I love helping travelers make the most of their trips and explore more underrated corners of France & the UK! My goal is to not overwhelm you with optionsā€” in my guides & itineraries, I provide suggestions that are truly worth it, based on personal experience or in-depth research. Whether youā€™re planning a dream trip to France, the UK, or beyond, I hope I can help you plan your next adventure! āœØ My expertise? šŸ‡«šŸ‡· On top of living in Lille, France for 2 years, my French fiancee has helped me develop a passion for this country beyond a typical tourist. Over the past 8 years, Iā€™ve explored France from north to south: Iā€™ve visited Paris 9 times, road-tripped through Normandy twice, & fell in love with Alsace. Iā€™ve spent time castle-hopping in the Loire Valley, beach-hopping in Corsica, & explored Provence & the French Riviera multiple times. Bordeaux has become a second home, with over 10 visits to the region. šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§ I lived in London, UK for 2 years, mostly during the pandemic, when I really got to know the city in depth - since we couldn't go anywhere else! Beyond London, Iā€™ve road-tripped through Scotland twice, explored gems like York and Liverpool, road-tripped through Cornwall & enjoyed countless day trips, from charming villages to coastal towns. Why trust me? šŸŒ Lived & traveled: Iā€™ve called both France and the UK home, giving me insider knowledge and plenty of travel experience!ā€Ø āœˆļø 20+ European countries: My travel experience spans the continent, so I know how to navigate Europe and want to help others do the same.ā€Ø šŸ§³ Organized, detailed & thoughtful: My itineraries focus on making the most of your time & budget, blending structure with room for spontaneity. šŸ„ Foodie at heart: Food is also a huge part of my travels, & I make it a point to seek out the best local dishes & restaurants wherever I go.
