Meet Anne

Hello! My name’s Anne. Let me tell you a story.

Meannedering is where I write about my travels, life in New York and France, and all of my delicious adventures.

In 2014, I quit my job in Washington, D.C. to move to the south of France. Since then, I’ve taught English to French middle schoolers, traveled solo through Spain and Italy, worked on a French vineyard, got my masters in Paris, and have been desperately trying to recreate the chai I drank under the stars in a terra cotta cup in Rajasthan.

I now live in the Lower East Side of New York, where I bake lots of treats, go on long walks through the park, and am doing my best to make Nora Ephron proud. I’m so happy to have you here, and would love to help you go on your next delicious adventure.

When I would walk home from work in the summer I used to pass this bar and dreamt today it was still open and still loud, with people spilling onto the sidewalk. I miss you, New York. ❤️
