I'm an American writer living in Paris and serial expat addicted to living abroad. I believe in traveling while you're young – and that it's possible to balance long-term travel, a career, and a relationship at the same time. I first moved abroad at 18 and have been permanently overseas since graduating in 2010. I've built a career in media and journalism through living in China, Singapore, and Paris, and have covered sports events from London to Azerbaijan. I currently travel solo while engaged to someone 6,000 miles away.
