About Brooke

A natural extrovert with enough social to go around, I’m adventurous and love to explore and discover places, foods and tingle all my senses. Traveling is my most favorite thing to do. I’m a proud Canadian and California native and therefore love the outdoors from hikes and camping in the mountains to jumping waves and enjoying the beachy landscapes.

I graduated from The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication with my bachelor’s in journalism and a minor in tourism and my master’s in Mass Communication. I’m a news junkie and I’d like to say I’m a big reader (of books) but that’s still a developing hobby (I’ve been saying that for years).

Other hobbies include petting my dog Bentley, playing with my beautiful niece and sharing meals with my family and friends. I’m also not afraid of eating something without knowing its contents. However, my most content moments are outside on a patio with café au lait.

I’m currently living in Saumur, a most-perfect town in France’s Loire Valley. I moved here to become a language assistant at a lycée (high school equivalent) and share my home with students a world away.

Don’t try to be a stranger; I don’t believe in the concept and have never met one. You can contact me however you’re most comfortable.
