Edmonds Author & Speaker Series presents "I Love Being Abroad"

"I Love Being Abroad" is a vibrant memoir chronicling Julie Cascioppo's transformative decade as an American jazz singer in 1980s Paris. What begins as a one-month escape from Seattle becomes an eight-year odyssey of artistic discovery, romantic entanglements, and personal reinvention in the City of Light.

"I Love Being Abroad" captures a unique moment in cultural history—1980s Paris as a haven for artistic expatriates before globalization homogenized international cities. Julie's story resonates with anyone who has ever taken a leap of faith, left their comfort zone, or pursued a creative dream against conventional wisdom.
