I’m from Seattle and I’ve lived in Paris since 2016. I have done it all! (Almost.) This trip consultation call is to help YOU. ❓ Ask me any questions you have about visiting Paris or France. 🗺️ Starting from Square 0: I can brainstorm ideas with you about a future trip to Paris or France. 💡 Starting from Square 1: Use me as a sounding board to review an itinerary you've designed. 📍 I can share specific recommendations and off-the-beaten-path suggestions. 📹 All consults can be video-recorded (with your consent) and the recording sent to you after our call. I'll share my tips and advice with you the same way I would for a close friend or family member. As I speak English and French, I can easily inform you of 'what it's really like' here in a way that might be difficult to simply look up online. If you think I'm a good fit to help you with your trip, please book a consultation call!

ABOUT
Hello et bonjour ! I'm (another) American in Paris. I've lived in France since 2016 and I loooove sharing my Paris & France recs in hopes I can help others love this city and country as much as I do. I'm quite confident I've seen more of France than most French people, so no matter what you're looking for, I've (probably) done it! ✅ What I'm a great fit for: Mature travelers, couples, solo travelers, and families who enjoy soaking in authentic experiences, great food and wine, off-the-beaten-track gems, classic sites, and sustainable travel. 🌱 What's sustainable travel about? Traveling in a way that is kind to the environment, respectful of local culture, & supportive of the local economy. My trip-planning services are always through a sustainable lens. ❌ What I'm not a great fit for: Travelers focused on bars/clubbing or high-end shopping. ➡️ Follow me on TikTok, Instagram & Pinterest @hilaryinparis for Paris & France recommendations, tips, personal stories, and more. 🌍 PS: I'm on Thatch because I genuinely love sharing France with folks. My day job is running Yugen Earthside, a booking platform for responsible package trips primarily catering to groups of mature American travelers. My company's website is linked below.
