Let me tell you, I donât do well with deadlines.Â
(Time constraints tend not to be priority when youâre tumbling down rabbit holes).
But exactly a year ago today, I was breaking a serious sweat to meet the one deadline that did matter to me: the one for my very first [book](.Â

Seeing that blue and red cover today find a home with people who love Paris as much as I do, has truly been the biggest reward.
Maybe itâs a warm weather thing, maybe Iâm getting nostalgic again, or maybe itâs the Friday cocktails, but I feel like celebrating that deadline.Â
So to bring a little rive gauche sunshine to your neck of the woods, wherever that may be, Iâve decided to whip up a magic 25% sale on both the [Donât be a Tourist in Paris book]( and the [Not a Tourist T-shirt](!Â
[Image]
So just in time for Motherâs Day, T-shirt season and the excitement of summer holiday planning, your super secret 25% [discount code]( is âCelebrateâ.
Chin chin!Â
With love from Paris,

[Honeymooning Around the Earth in an Amphibious Jeep](

My heroes are up there with the Ernest Hemingways, the Amelia Earharts and the Jacques Cousteaus of this world; names that conjure up the romance of adventure and inspire us to take risks in an age where travel has been made too easy.

Â
[31769238_10155482105111680_3292585430205071360_n](
 Cold Spring Tavern isnât your average banditâs watering hole. In roughly 150 years, itâs housed everything from a baby leopard named Ricky, to a Frenchmanâs failed ballet school, and itâs one of the last surviving stops of Californiaâs perilous stagecoach days. To get there, your car will have to hug miles of winding road off the highwayâ¦

[Rome_passetto_night_inside](
Thereâs no denying that historyâs juiciest stories often have roots in-between the sheets, and as general rule, whether you were ruler of the kingdom or head of the Catholic church, having multiple lovers still required a serious escape route to avoid any unnecessary embarrassment. Ever intrigued by a secret passageway or a hidden staircase, weâve compiledâ¦

Ollie and Harry Ferguson arenât your average sea captains. Theyâve only got one ship under their command, and a combined age of 15. Theyâve never stepped behind the vesselâs helm, but theyâve been hawk-like trackers of its progress. Granted, their ship is barely two feet long and made by Playmobil.

[0_a0f4f_2e9e65f6_XXXL](
Gustave Eiffel, the Michelin brothers, the Peugeot familyâ they were all educated by one of the oldest, most prestigious universities in Franceâ which no longer exists.

[Murder in the Blueprints of Frank Lloyd Wright](
Â
[8654064572_d5dbbc50d0_b](
The legendary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright never wore his heart on his sleeve. For better or for worse, he dressed up his blueprints in his feelings, and nowhere is that reflex so painfully clear than in his handful of mysterious, pre-Colombian-inspired houses built in California in the early 1920s. You could call them âtheâ¦
