Paris is a Party

  • Summary

  • For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to live in Paris but I can’t pinpoint or understand where that dream came from. Moulin Rouge, maybe? In fact, wanting to live in Paris was something growing up that I was embarrassed to admit to myself (among other things ;D)!


    In this podcast I explore where this desire comes from through conversations with expats, Parisians, the French, and anyone traveling or living in Paris and France. I aim to understand what brought them here, what they love or hate about this city and French culture and what Paris means to them. I’m on a quest to understand what it is about Paris and France that draws people in. In doing so, I hope to gain a better understanding of what pulled me to this city and brought me to this point in my life living in Paris.


    The title, ‘Paris is a Party’ is the reverse French translation of Ernest Hemingway’s widely beloved memoir, “A moveable Feast,’ which in French is “Paris est une fete.” While I’m no Hemingway (can you imagine!) I want to document the people in my life in a context and format that speaks to the bizarre realities of the 2020s just as he did in the 1920s.

    Party with JJ, Ep. 8
    Dec 11 2024

    Please welcome to the stage: JJ! In the early 2010s JJ and I studied abroad together in Paris. We were neighbors living on the same street and yet our paths never crossed. It wasn’t until a few years later, in NYC, when we finally met and discovered our shared connection to Paris.


    We discuss the impact of study abroad, the mythologies/legends of Paris, French theater, why Paris is associated with romance while NYC is associated with destruction, and some of our favorite memories / moments spent in Paris.

    Party with Stefan, Ep. 6
    Nov 5 2024

    The one and only Stefan, hailing from The Big Apple, joins me for a short and sweet apéro hour party / podcast session. This is my first *visitor* on Paris is a Party and oh! what a treat it is to have him joining me. We dive deep on fashion (brands brands brands, galore!), Paris styles, and how Paris transformed into an even brighter and more cosmopolitan city than it was when Stefan first visited (at the sweet sweet age of 16).

    Enjoy this one and thank you for tuning in!
