Forget the standard Eiffel Tower key chain souvenir, you could take home an actual part of the Eiffel Tower instead! A section of the building’s famous staircase is about to be auctioned off – but if you want it, you better hurry, it is set to be auctioned today! The 25-step, 4-meter spiral staircase was […]

A Weekend in Bordeaux
One of the best things about living in Europe are the many possibilities for weekend adventures. This past weekend Thomas and I with his family set off for Bordeaux. I didn’t know much about this south west region of France other than it produces some of the most famous wines in the world. Only a […]
The Passages of Paris
One of my favorite things to do in Paris is to visit the hidden passages throughout the city. Developed between the late 18th century and the mid-19th century, these covered pedestrian walkways haven’t changed much since their opening so many years ago. Once you step inside these passages, you will be transported back in time […]
Live Like a European in North America
After living abroad for almost 5 years, coming back to Canada is both a relief and a little frustrating. I am suddenly aware of the consumerism attitude that North Americans are so well known for. I feel like everyone drives a huge car, eats tons of food, and watches too much television. I never realized […]

Window Shopping in Paris
One of my favorite things to do in Paris is to go window shopping and look at all the wonderful items I would buy if I won the lottery! My usual spots to go are along Rue Cambon, and around Place Vendome. Thought I would share some of my favorite looks from the windows of […]
Back in France!
Well, after taking some time in Canada I am now back in France! I am now living with my fiance in a small village about a 30 min, train ride outside of Paris. It is nice to experience a new way of life in France. For the past four years, I have only known living […]
