What's Inside the Guide

Dear lover of Paris and enjoyment!,

In this guide you'll find a listing of all the places in Paris I mention in my most recent memoir I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself (listed by TIME as one of the top 100 books of 2024!). 

I've also included a separate itinerary for those who are more familiar with the city and would like a different view. This is the guide I send to friends and family who are visiting. 

Bon Voyage! 

About the author

I’m the author of the memoirs I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself: One Woman's Pursuit of Pleasure and No One Tells You This. I wrote, produced, and hosted the podcast WILDER: A Reckoning with the Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder, for iHeart Media. I’ve contributed to numerous collections and I write the newsletter Good Decisions!

I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself (Penguin, 2024) was named to TIME’s 100 Must-Read Books of 2024. No One Tells You This (S&S, 2018), was named one of the Best Books of 2018 by Esquire, the Financial Times, and the CBC, and was a 2019 New York Times 'Paperback Row' pick. WILDER was an official Tribeca Festival 2023 Audio Selection. ​

My writing has been featured in the The New York Times, The Guardian, Vogue, The Cut, New York Daily News, Town & Country, The Daily Beast, GEN, and ELLE, among others. I started out as a media and politics reporter for The Huffington Post, and later Business Insider, and covered the 2008 national political conventions for Playboy magazine, providing me with the greatest opening line I ever hope to have.

In 2012, I co-founded TheLi.st with Rachel Sklar. TheLi.st was acquired in 2020.

​I live in New York City, but have an open agreement with Paris.
