Meet the Expert

In September 1998, we bought our first home in France, a “to-die-for”, romantic, centuries-old farmhouse in the Dordogne area of Southwest France. All of the magic of France, its rolling countryside, and the streaming sunlight which filled our country kitchen at La Bruyere, a four bedroom, 2 bath renovated farmhouse east of Bordeaux.​

I’ve loved travelling ever since I spent a year in Paris studying at the Sorbonne at age 20. Over the next ten years I managed to bike, hike or travel through Canada, Europe, Latin America and the beautiful USA. Later, I finished a Masters in International Business from The American Graduate School of International Management in Phoenix, Arizona.

There are plenty of things I love about Europe but one of the main reasons is the manner of slow living. It’s more about the journey than the destination. I love the poppies in May, the Citroën 2CVs and Fiats, and the way the French and Italian language connects me deeply to its history and people.
