More About Me

Robin Allison Davis is an Emmy Award-winning journalist, writer, and producer based in Paris and born and raised in the Washington DC area. After a ten-year television career in New York City and desiring to see more of the world, she moved to Paris in 2016 to pursue the dream of a more international lifestyle - and got more than she bargained for.  A two-time breast cancer survivor, “Surviving Paris: A Memoir of Healing in the City of Light" is her first book. When she’s not obsessing over what to write on her Substack, you can find her going on long city walks and eating anything spicy enough to make her cry.
