I am a graudate of the American University of Paris and the Institute Catholique de Paris with a Master of Arts in International Affairs. I lived in the Paris for 8 years with my partner Mikael where we shared a lovely home with our cat Beija. I am originally from North Carolina, but being a military brat I have lived all over the US including Texas, DC, and San Diego. Not being able to stay in one place too long I left my native US to discover foreign lands like Brazil, Egypt, France and now Senegal. Mika has also found a warmer clime and is currently Marrakesh and Beija is luxuriating in the South of France with her aunt. The name of my blog has taken on new meaning as I am officially Franco-American since April 29th 2013 when I received French citizenship.
