#1: The real Paris with Lindsey Tramuta

Have you ever found yourself wondering how you can get past the stereotypes of a city you’re visiting and have a genuine experience of the place? 

Journalist, author and podcast host Lindsey Tramuta has been living in Paris since 2006, and she joins the podcast to help us appreciate the many sides of one of the world’s most romanticized cities. Listen up for her thoughts on why it’s so important to look past the “single story” of a place; her advice for great walking tours you can do on your next trip to the French capital; and what she really thinks of the hit Netflix show “Emily in Paris.”

Have you managed to get below the surface of a place on your travels? Or did you find anything unexpected or off-the-tourist track on your last trip to Paris? I’d love to hear about your experience and hope you’ll share by sending me a voice message.

Thank you so much for listening!
