Solli is a 29 years old Swedish woman living and enjoying her life in the beautiful and charming city Paris.
She was born and raised in Lund (south of Sweden) and moved to Stockholm at the age of 19 to study Engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology. After receiving her Bachelor of Science Degree (in Mechatronics & Industrial IT Industrial Economics ) she was headhunted for a position at the Nordic region’s leading analysis- and research company REGI where she worked for 3 1 /2 years as a Project and Production Manager.
At a very young age she had everything she once had dreamt of, she was surrounded by wonderful friends, had a great job and position and owned a beautiful apartment in the heart of Stockholm. … But still she was not enjoying her life, she wanted to approach new challenges so she decided to spread her wings and she ended up in Paris, in a typical Parisian apartment in the charming arrondissement St Germain.
She believes in the Law of Attraction and practices bikram yoga. Ice cream from the Italian gelato bar GROM and Pain au raisins from PAULS are some of her every day treats. The old history, the beautiful architecture, the charming quartiers, the cute couples in amour she sees whereever she turns her head, the lovable French cuisine and her addiction to French pastries makes her HIGH ON LIFE in Paris .
Me @ Shangri-La in Paris
For the moment she is working as a Sales & PR Manager at the concept-store Quintessence Playground located in the marché aux Puces in St-Ouen, a showroom filled up with antiques, industrial furnitures and other curiosites.
When she is not working and when she’s not partying at the private nightclubs Le Montana and Le Baron you can probably see her at Ladurée Bonaparte eating macarons….if not there she’s indulging herself with Italian ice-cream at GROM. She can also be spotted between all the big photography books at Taschen ;-) She loves spending time studying her surroundings and go for discovering-tours by her own with her partner-in-love Canon G12 and sometimes she cheat on him with her MacBook Pro sitting at Café le Flore writing on her never-ending novel. Having a glass of rosé with friends at the cozy bistro La Palette is also very typical in her life aswell as dining at the Italian restaurants in Saint Germain. On Sundays used to be her special day when she strolled around in the marché aux Puces in St-Ouen. She completely loves to take photos of all the beautiful and unique objects she stumbles over there. Now, it’s a part of her working place so with other words, she is in love with her job ;-)
Solli has been blogging for over 3 1/2 years at Sollis.se but she has also contributed with a Paris-blog at COSMOPOLITAN.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” Mark Twain
