bonjour

I’m a Midwest gal born and raised, but I’ve always been on the move. I’ve traveled to 20 different countries, but my heart belongs in France. In 2020, I moved to Marseille to teach English and au pair.

Through Round Trip, I’m fueled by a desire to help others have more cross-cultural connections and to make travel more accessible. My blog is a space for travel tips, city guides, expat advice and lifestyle content.

If I’m not crafting a blog post, you can find me sipping a McDonald’s Coke, posting a picture of my iced coffee on Insta Stories or talking about my rescue cat.

I published the France Field Guide, a 32-page resource with everything you need to know about travel in France, basic French language and expat life. (Get access to the first few pages for free here!)

And if you like free things — who doesn’t? — this is the place for you. From my expat Facebook group to my online budgeting course that has thousands enrolled, I have plenty of resources to help you travel and live life meaningfully.
