The Dessert Traveller, in Montreal

An American by birth and Europhile at heart, I’ve lived in Europe since I graduated from Yale College in 2005. After several years in the wonderful dessert-filled city of Paris, I moved to Brussels, where I work as a violinist with the Belgian National Opera, the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie. My violon d’Ingres, as the French would say, is dessert. Yum.
