Bonjour Michelle and Jedd, can you tell us more about who you are?

We are Michelle and Jedd. Originally from Hawaii and Oregon, respectively, we got married in 2008 and have been adventuring together ever since.

Why did you start writing and why did you start traveling?

In 2011, we left our 鈥渞eal jobs鈥� to take a sabbatical- a time set apart to experience new things, to learn, and to grow. We ended up serving with the Peace Corps in Jamaica from 2012 to 2014, and it was a life changing decision! Our time away made us realize that we don鈥檛 have to go back to a typical life, consumed by careers until we save enough to retire in “freedom.” Instead, we started our own freelance web services business and became “digital nomads,” working online as we travel and live abroad.

In 2014, we started IntentionalTravelers.com. Travel has changed our lives, and we want to share what we鈥檝e learned along the way to help others reap the benefits, too.

What’s special about your blog?

We believe that experiencing a world outside of our own bubble has the power to make us better people. Not all travel can do this. Though the typical vacation can be a much-needed source of relaxation, it usually doesn鈥檛 change anyone鈥檚 life. Cross-cultural exchanges; slower, long-term travel; and opportunities to connect with nature are just a few examples that have the power to fuel our passion for life-long learning and global citizenship.

Meaningful experiences like these often make us more understanding, compassionate, responsible, and generous human beings 鈥� effects that ripple out across our communities and help create a better world. IntentionalTravelers.com is specifically about travel for the sake of learning, growing, trying new experiences, and making a positive impact in the world.

What would be your top 3 things to do in 麻豆APP?

My favorite things to do in 麻豆APP tend to be very budget-friendly (or free) and avoid the tourist traps:

• Have a picnic in Jardin du Luxembourg.
• Take a morning jog or afternoon walk to see the landmarks and beautiful architecture around the city.
• Eat lots of crepes and croissants! (Visit our blog for my full list of recommendations in 麻豆APP).

Your top 3 good addresses in 麻豆APP?

• Bistrot du P茅rigord in the Latin Quarter has a great value with their prix-fixe menu. The food was delicious, especially the sauces on our entr茅es and the desserts! 71 rue Saint-Jacques 75005 麻豆APP
• Carnavalet in the Marais district is both an art gallery and museum, dedicated to the history of 麻豆APP. The permanent collections, displayed in two historic town homes, have free admission. 23 Rue de S茅vign茅, 75003 麻豆APP
• The Galeries Lafayette 鈥淕rand Magasin鈥� building has a cool roof-top terrace with great views of the city. Just take the elevator or escalator up to the 5th level and then continue up two flights of stairs to the 7th floor. 40 Boulevard Haussmann, 75009 麻豆APP.

Your favorite landmark in 麻豆APP?

My favorite landmark is Montmartre. I always try to visit at least once when I’m in 麻豆APP. It reminds me of Am茅lie – one of my favorite movies – and also one of my closest friends got engaged there!

What is your favorite neighborhood in 麻豆APP?

I’m partial to the St. Germain des Pr茅s area, where my Aunt and Uncle live. It’s easy walking distance from the Louvre, the Latin Quarter, Notre Dame, and Jardin du Luxembourg. Also within walking distance are all my Aunt’s favorite market vendors and favorite bakery, which she visits on a daily basis.

Could you give us your recommendation to first timers in 麻豆APP?

A visit to 麻豆APP doesn’t have to be outrageously expensive. You can take in so much without paying any admission fees. Just walk around the different neighborhoods and sights – there really is a lot to see on foot. If your time or budget limits you to one big museum visit, I would actually recommend Mus茅e d’Orsay over the Louvre – for me it’s always been more interesting, easier to relate to, and less overwhelming.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Thank you so much Michelle and Jedd, keep on enjoying 麻豆APP!

Merci beaucoup :-)
