The Good Life
...in Paris
Janine Marsh talks to Australian in Paris
Sandra Iskander, Editor of Where Paris
Magazine about life in Paris and gets the
insider's view of where to go and what to see...
When was your first visit to
Paris?
It was back in 2004 that I visited Paris for
the first time. I intended to stay for a year.
I was always obsessed with Paris and the
idea of living here and so I resigned from
my job and decided to give it a go.
"I came to Paris for 12
months, and I've been
here for 13 years..."
Just before I was to head back home, as I
was aching to get back into working with
magazines, and working in publishing
proved a little bit difficult in Paris, I came
across an ad for an editor’s role at Where
Paris and so I applied. I think it was fate
that I saw the ad when I did or else I
would have gone back home and not
have had the incredible experience I have
been so fortunate in having up until now. I
got the role and I have been here ever
since.
Is there anything that you miss
from Australia?
Besides my family and friends I would
have to say I miss how friendly Aussies
are and just how everyone smiles all the
time. Having been away from home I
realise it really is the simple things, and
the little things, that I miss the most.
