Bonjour les amis! Je m’APPELLE Silvia

Originally from Durango, Durango, MEXICO (thus the french-xican ;) I arrived  to Rennes, Britanny to pursuit my MBA studies in 2008, starting a whole new life in France. Zero knowledge of the French language, trying to make Spanglish work (spoiler: I failed!), I started my adventure of living in this fabulous country in this charming and student-friendly city.

After 1 year and a half, I got the offer for a 6-month internship in Marseille, in the South of France (change of decor and a totally different accent!). I moved to Paris in 2010 after I got a job and worked for 7 years for international and french companies on consulting and electronic payments (boring, right?)

During all these years, I had the opportunity to travel around the world (+30 countries and counting!) discovered my passion to meet new people, new places and sharing my own experiences being a citizen of the world and  living in the most exciting city that you can imagine: Paris!

Wanting to follow my true calling and based on my numerous travelling and guiding experiences in Paris and other parts of the world for friends and family,  I  founded my company Wanderlust Life Paris, where my aim is to provide unique and memorable experiences for people visiting my beloved adopted city, showing my guests a different, local side of Paris, that only an insider and someone with a genuine love for the city would know.
