--01 How is Paris nowadays?

More open I would say. I feel there is more of a sense of community and a lot more foreigners, people are less afraid of language barriers and parisian attitude. 6 years ago when I just moved here, I felt it was a lot harder to fit in this very French society.

--02 Where is your happy place/sanctuary in Paris and why?

My home, Paris is a hectic city and I need to find refuge from it when needed.

--03 What do you think is the most interesting creative scene in the city right now?

Definitely the food and design scene, so many talented and charismatic people.

--04 What are 3 places in Paris (bars, clubs, restaurants, stores...) you would bring a friend visiting you to?

Café du coin, Lao Siam, Le Maquis

--05 What is something you believe Paris is currently missing?

Nature and parks or at least easy access to nature in suburbs, lakes, forests.
