Bonjour! I’m Sophie

Are you looking for your next travel adventure? Do you need to know the must-see spots in a given city, or maybe you’re looking to go off the beaten path in a little-known European village? We have you covered.

My name is Sophie Nadeau and I’m a British/ Canadian girl currently living in London, where I love snapping photos, drinking glasses of wine, and discovering lesser-known locations.

For the past eight years, I’ve been exploring Europe and beyond in search of hidden gems, forgotten history, and beautiful destinations in order to share it all on this website! What started as a passion project has evolved into a go-to travel site for millions of readers all around the world.

Along the way, my French husband, Antoine, has joined me in full-time adventures, and the full-time running of this site!

In early 2024, my sister, Charlotte, also joined the team. Antoine’s passion is video editing, whereas Charlotte enjoys injecting humour into as many travel pieces as she can.
