My expat journey
Paris, France
I am a writer, on-camera actor (primarily industrials - corporate training & marketing videos), voiceover artist and a university professor (MBA program in international marketing, event management, franchising, communications & PR).

I love the cafe lifestyle - where people often meet for food and drinks or just to sit outside and watch the world walk by.
