I work professionally in social media and find it rather intriguing when small or local business can leverage channels like Instagram to propel themselves to fame. Case and point – London’s Élan Cafe.

My recent trip to Paris was a bit of a tease. I arrived to a beautiful sunny day, only to wake up to an incredibly cold Saturday filled with pouring rain and snow. Snow!
