of Misadventures with Andi

I am a content creator, storyteller, and marketer. Oh, and a Francophile which means I love all things French! I write about travel, food, and France, including aspiring to follow a French lifestyle. If Paris is your jam, I am here for you with all the deets. But I also do a lot of outdoor adventures looking for places that are off the beaten path in the U.S. as well.

Frenchie Friday - April 26, 2024

Frenchie Friday - April 26, 2024 On Sunday, we did an amazing 8-hour walking tour of Porto. It was jam-packed with info, but also in French so my brain was very tired after all the fun! This is our third time in Porto but the first time visiting some of the more touristy sites like Lello Library, Cafe Majestic, and many more sites. One spot I really apprecitated that I don't think is on a lot of people's list is the Stock Exchange building which is just gorgeous. I highly recommend it if you...

Frenchie Friday - April 5, 2024 By the time you are reading this I will be on a plane to Paris. We are heading to Portugal for a month, bookended by 2 weekends in Paris. And of course, as I always warn you about, we have not 1 but 2 strikes to navigate through. Saturday there will be both a student-led demonstration at the sports ministry to denounce the removal of residents from student housing during the 2024 Summer Olympics AND the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) are back at Place de la...

Frenchie Friday - March 29, 2024 Joyeuses Pâques! 🐣 Hop into Easter Weekend with me! In France, Easter isn't just about chocolate eggs and <<les ponts>> (although we do love those too!).

From attending mass at stunning cathedrals to indulging in scrumptious Easter brunches, every moment is imbued with the spirit of renewal and togetherness. But most of all, its about amazing chocolate! 🐣 Now, I...

Frenchie Friday on Saturday - March 23, 2024 Well, well, well... Look who's fashionably late to the party! 🕒🙈 You might be wondering why your beloved Frenchie Friday is sliding into your inbox on a Saturday this week.

But fear not, my dear readers, for I come bearing the same dose of Parisian charm and cultural tidbits as...

Frenchie Friday - March 15, 2024 Bonjour, mes amis! As the calendar pages flutter towards the greenest, shamrock-studded day of the year, I couldn’t help but nudge you with a cheeky little thought: While the world dons emerald hues and toasts to St. Patrick, might the French be having more fun? Now, don’t get me wrong. St. Patrick's Day is a day of lively parades, delightful green attire, and, of course, the clinking of pints in the spirit of Irish tradition. But let’s whisk our imaginations...
