The following is a conversation with moya mawhinney, a vlogger based in Paris. We discussed the challenges and magic of moving to and living in Paris amongst other things.

This was a different kind of podcast episode where we were having breakfast at the same time, it’s more of a “hang with us” kind of experience, I suggest grabbing something to drink or to do some visually creative project like painting or drawing while you listen.
