American Expat in France

Marie and Michael in the Alps, March 2009

If you’re an expat, American or not, curious about living in France or looking for helpful advice, you’ve come to the right place. I hope to serve as a one-stop site for great expat links, news and original articles.

A bit about me: I’m finishing my Masters in “International Corporate Communications and Management” at the University of Grenoble. I’m a communications consultant, journalist, translator, English teacher as well as musician/songwriter. I know about intercultural interactions and the effects they can have on a person or a company. Personally I have many friends and colleagues from diverse backgrounds and my girlfriend is French.

This is my second year in Grenoble. Before then, I was teaching English in Lyon. I also studied abroad in college (University of Notre Dame) in Angers, France during the 2004-05 school year and completed an internship in Paris at Sciences Po in 2006.
