Relocation Expert

Where are you from?
A tricky question… everywhere and nowhere. If I had to choose one place, I would say Paris!

What is your background/experience?
I have a degree in Biology, but I moved into relocation after spending four years living abroad in England.

What languages do you speak?
English and French

Where is your favorite place in Paris? Why?
My favorite place isn’t actually in Paris, but nearby: the forêt de Marly. I go there for walks every weekend, and I love that it’s so close to the city yet feels like the countryside.
What’s your favorite French festival? Our village festival, which takes place once a year at the end of the academic year. The whole village comes together to celebrate the start of summer, with live music, fireworks, and time spent with friends. It’s a lovely moment.

What’s your favorite French food?
If I had to choose one, it would be boeuf bourguignon. It’s a comforting beef stew, perfect for winter.
