PATRICIA GAJO | Freelance Writer + Lifestyle Blogger

Hello. Bonjour.
I'm a Canadian living in Paris. I'm a freelance writer and lifestyle reporter. Welcome to my site, which doubles as headquarters for my media portfolio and culture blog. You and I will get along if, like me, you enjoy fashion, travel, art and gastronomy. I'm also passionate about European history, the glamorous times from the Renaissance to the 18th century. My mantra is this: The world is one colossal museum. Why live like a local, when it's far more thrilling to discover each day as a tourist?

Last spring, I ventured from one foodie capital to another, my home in Paris to Seoul. Of course, there were many must-see sights on my checklist (about which I will rave in another post), but let's be honest, the main motivation during my trip to South Korea was based on food.
