About Me

My name is Dana Quinn and I lived in Italy for 15 years before moving to the French Riviera 5 yrs ago. I originally started off in the corporate world but soon my passion for travel, languages and history took over and I ended up guiding people professionally in Europe for more than 15 years heading 120 trips for a leading luxury travel company. For me travel is a combination of seeing what the place is best known for as well as going into exploration mode to make new discoveries. It is about art, history, beauty, food & wine, artisan shops and definitely about chatting with the locals and maybe even getting their family recipes. I started my blog to share some of my travel stories or even my every day life as an expat living on the Côte d'Azur. Maybe my readers will make some new discoveries.
