About

Hi! I’m Tiana 🙂

A bit about me – I’m a 20-something-year-old born and raised in the Bay Area, California who has found myself living abroad – in the dreamy city of Paris, France.

After spending years of my life (and far too much money) in college studying a subject I wasn’t passionate about, and then going on to work a full-time office job that I didn’t love, I realized that life is too short to be unhappy.

So, I took a leap of faith, quit my job, and moved to Europe to have my Eat Pray Love moment – and I haven’t looked back since.

I didn’t travel much at all when I was young, outside of a few trips here and there to visit family. It wasn’t until I took my first trip abroad after graduating college in 2019 that I really caught the travel bug.

Graduating from Arizona State in 2018 with a Bachelor’s in Political Science!

And now that I’m all grown up (well, almost), I’ve been trying to branch out and see as much of the world as possible. Since my first trip abroad, I’ve been hooked on exploring new places and cultures. I love the feeling of getting lost in a new city, trying different foods, and meeting new people from all over the world.

Nowadays, you can find me sipping café au lait in a Parisian café, exploring a new city on a weekend getaway, or planning my next big adventure.

Don’t get me wrong, my life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, and I definitely still have my share of ups and downs. (P.S. you can read all about them in my post about what it’s actually like living in Paris as an American)

On this blog, I’ll be sharing my honest experiences – the good, the bad, and the ugly – in the hopes that it will inspire you to travel more, and show you that it’s possible to live your best life: no matter where you are in the world, how much money you have, or what your situation may be.

In other words, I’m just your average Millennial trying to figure out life while seeing the world, one country at a time ✈

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy following along on my adventures!
