about me
Hi, I’m Sarah
The French Riviera, and Nice in particular, has been my summer playground for as long as I can remember.
It’s where I roller-skated down the promenade as a kid, where I went clubbing as a teen, where I spent – and spend – romantic weekends with my husband, where we went on both our babymoons and where we vacation with our girls so they can make the same memories.
I’m a certified teacher of French as a foreign language and a long-time francophile who lives near the French border and I consider the French Riviera, and Nice in particular, to be my second home.
After decades of traveling to Nice, I know this stretch of Southern French coastline like the back of my hand.
Traveling is more than just a hobby for me, it’s also the red thread in my career. I’ve worked in the hotel industry as an internationally acclaimed receptionist and front office manager before starting a position as a conference and event planner for one of Europe’s most prestigious private members’ clubs.
After becoming a mom, I joined the international office of a university college where I helped students plan their exchange adventure to France and beyond. Learn more about my professional experience here.
My expertise in trip planning and thorough insight into what visitors look for during their vacation, give me an edge as a travel specialist. Add to that my decades of personal experience traveling to Nice and the French Riviera, and you know I’m your go-to guide who offers more than just generic travel advice.
I can provide experience-based tips on hidden gems, recommend authentic local experiences off the beaten path, and navigate the nuances of Niçois culture that guidebooks often miss.
