Originally from the sunny Mississippi Gulf Coast, Christina has lived in France for four years now. It all started with a whirlwind year in Orleans before finishing her Bachelor's degree in History and French at the University of Southern Mississippi. Craving to get back to the cafés, she hopped the pond to finish a Master's degree in English Studies/American Civilization at the Université Stendhal-Grenoble 3 in Grenoble, France. The city hasn't gotten rid of her yet!
The relationship between the two countries fuels her curiosity and she writes about France to show others what the Hexagon has to offer. Of course, she can't cover everything--France's array of cultural and culinary wonders number far too many for one human being--but she's doing her best.
She traveled around parts of Western Europe before deciding to take up residence in Grenoble to concentrate on France and its rich regional diversity. While not on the road, she teaches English to French professionals in the Grenoble area. This job has opened opportunities to meet the city's rugby team, the bus drivers to whom Grenoble entrusts its ski season tourists, nuclear scientists, and company presidents.
Online, she works as the regional France editor for www.NeigeSki.com and www.OnTheSnow.co.uk, the world's most visited winter sports websites. More locally, she is NileGuide.com's Local Expert Grenoble, examiner.com's French Culture and Travel Examiner, and a contributor for www.GrenobleLife.com, the site for Grenoble's English-speaking population.
