Naughty Paris on the Playboy Channel

Today I did my first media appearence for Playboy Channel's new series beginning in March called "69 Sexy Things to Do Before You Die". Here I am on the banks of the Seine trying not to look cold, talking about my guidebook and all of the naughty things you can get yourself into in Paris.

Strategically hiding the rubbish bin, I'm now ready for my close up...

 

The Naughty Paris Guide is now in editorial production! The cover is done -- pretty, non?

Naughty Paris Guide Photographer Begins Shooting Today

After many months of trying to find the right team to produce the Naughty Paris Guide, I have finally found an excellent photographer, Kirsten Loop, who agreed to come to Paris all the way from Toronto to shoot over 25 locations in a ten-day period. Stay tuned on the progress at the Naughty Paris Blog.

Urgence Humanitaire Asie (Humanitarian Emergency in Asia)

Not all of my work is for fluffy travel guides and magazines.

I've been helping Rémi Fritsch, president of UHA (Urgence Humanitaire Asie), translate the newsletters of his non-profit organization, created a year ago to help the thousands of predominantly Hmong refugees being exterminated in Laos. Their crime? They're the children and grandchildren of those who fought on the side of the Americans (and before that, the French) during the Vietnam War.

 It doesn't seem to be up on the UHA site yet, so in the meantime you can read the rough draft here.
