As anyone who has read my blog will know, I wasn’t raised to believe in fitting in nor living by societal standards. I was raised believing that anything is possible, and that life was meant to be a design of our own creation. This was instilled by two creative, soulful parents who themselves rarely followed conventions. Above all, I was taught to live by my heart.
It was by following this unconventional script, from the urban jungle of NYC, to the scenic landscapes of the earth’s far corners, that led me to my Italian. And to Paris. Exactly 5 years ago.
Everyone has a story. Some have yet to live theirs. Today we celebrate ours.

Congrats on 5 years in Paris – here’s to many more (so I can live vicariously through your blog and Instagram!)
Thanks Mardi! It will be 5 years of living in Paris in August… can’t believe it! I promise to stay a while longer and entice you with imagery!
Felicitations from the French Auvergne! I subscribe your view of life and I also believe one has to follow his/her passion. I did it by building -together with my sister- 3 gites with my own hands. No help, no mancraft 🙂 and decorate them. And now I am trying to share all the beautiful home textiles I see from distinctive international designers and small labels. I’am Duth by the way 🙂
A la votre! Kind regards,

Wow! It’s been 5 years!? How time flies. I remember when I first began following you, you had just moved to Paris! It’s been such a delightful journey, and you remain an inspiration to me. 🙂 Here’s to many more years of unconventional living!
Wow, so it’s been five years already? Wonderful. I’ve just read your “one-year-after” post, and seeing this one is truly inspiring. Congratulations! I will be looking forward to a similar entry next year 🙂
