My Journey
I moved to Paris permenantly in 2013, where I live close to the Eiffel Tower.
My life centres on history, education and people. I combine research and guided tours with teaching history in a Paris secondary school where I also lead the English department.
When I'm not being a history nerding, you may find me nature roaming, ukulele playing or language learning.
