I was born in Philadelphia, and grew up in Scottsdale, AZ. I started out as a news journalist in high school, but when I moved to Paris after university (Carleton College, in Minnesota) my first job was as the travel editor for ELLE.com. I soon went freelance and began writing travel articles and contributing to travel guides. I love Paris, and I love sharing all of the secrets of this amazing city. I contribute to many well know guides such as Fodor's, Michelin Green Guide, Time Out and Expedia. I also write for France Magazine and the easyJet inflight magazine each month.
