Two years ago, I travelled for one year, launched a podcast, and learned what matters most to me: authentic connection and kindness.

I grew up in Paris, have lived in a few countries, and now travel as a digital nomad. I cook, love ecstatic dance, and I’m happiest in long conversations about existence and what matters.

One memorable year highlights: a 21-day Vipassana retreat and hosting the pilot of a travel show in the Georgia.

I’m happiest with people who are kind, emotionally present, and excited to explore — both the inner life and new places.

I’m on Instagram as @Vincent.E.Paul if you want a visual sense of my travels and work. I’m here to meet curious locals and fellow travelers.
