I’m Renata. Come Roam the World with Me!
Hi! My name is Renata and I’m an au pair in Paris because I was too afraid of getting a regular job after college, getting lulled into a boring job, and never traveling the way I dreamed of.
How’s that for breaking the ice?
Writing this blog feels a little odd. I’ve never truly considered myself a social media guru (probably because I’m not), yet here I am writing a blog to go along with my social media.
If you clicked to this link, there’s a good chance you follow my instagram account (Renata in Paris), which has grown more than I expected it to since starting it last October. It has been such a fun way for me to document my experiences in Paris, connect with other Paris creators, and reach new photography clients.
However, Instagram is a condensed form of communication, and my true love is writing, so welcome to Roaming with Renata!
My goal for this blog is to provide you, my dear reader, with practical tips and fun (often budget-friendly) activities to do in Paris and beyond. It’s also a digital diary of sorts with reflections about my travels. I’ll also dish about what it’s like being an au pair, because boyyyyy oh boy is this a bizarre job.
