A Personal Note
Je m’appelle Chloé, et je suis ravie de vous rencontrer !
I’m so happy to meet you!
This is my dream come true - a journey through France and Europe to discover: culture, coffee, croissants, fashion, food, and everything in between.
Although I was fortunate to visit France and my French family several times while growing up in Northern California, deciding to actually live here was a very different, and far more challenging...story.
It’s a bold step, especially at 22 years old. It means leaving behind everything familiar to explore a lifestyle I’ve always admired and wanted to understand more deeply.
With my relentlessly adventurous spirit, I recently decided to take that leap.
My journey isn’t just about settling into a new home or adapting to a new country. It’s about discovering France, and eventually Europe, through fresh eyes, while remembering the experiences that undoubtedly changed my life. Through these posts, I hope to explore cultural differences and, most importantly, to appreciate and respect them as a recent International Affairs graduate still very much learning the world.
As I navigate, explore, stumble, and will occasionally embarrass myself, I’ll share insights and inspirations for anyone considering a similar adventure, or for those who are simply curious about life on the other side of the Atlantic.
Here are today in Paris and here are some of the topics I plan to write about:
Food – Bien sur!!! C’est absolument incontournable en France. And why does everything taste so much like… real food?
Markets – And no, not just food markets
Art & History – Who can ignore thousands of years in the making!
Traditions – Halloween vs. Mardi Gras?!
Fashion – OMG… this is where it truly begins
Daily life – Why is everyone rushing so much in the U.S.?
Work habits - How Do Different Approaches to Work Shape Quality of Life?
À très bientôt, From France, with Love.
Chloé
