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.
Charlotte, writer
Antoine, videographer
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.

TRAVEL RESOURCES
HOTELS
We often use Booking.com in order to book our hotels as we like to keep all of our bookings in one place when we go travelling. We love that there is a huge selection of mainstream hotels as well as privately owned rentals, as well as the fact that you can often book a room that can be cancelled down the line should your plans change.
CAR RENTALS
There are a number of different deals on the market at any given time, which is why I like to use a price comparison website such as Discover Cars in order to book a car rental.
ATTRACTIONS AND EXPERIENCES
We book almost all of our guided tours, visits, and experiences via GetYourGuide. I have been using them for the past five years and love the variety of activities on offer, as well as the fact that you can read reviews in advance.
OUR CAMERA GEAR
The number one question we get asked is about our camera gear. I have been using Sony mirrorless cameras for over eight years and love the quality, versatility, and variety of lenses available. Almost all of our recent photos are taken on the Sony A7III. We do the first basic edits using our custom made presets for Adobe Lightroom.
