"I had come to the conclusion that I must really be French, only no one had ever informed me of this fact.
I loved the people, the food, the lay of the land,the civilized atmosphere, and the generous pace of life."

- JULIA CHILD -

   Welcome to Else Kosberg's world, where you'll find  inspiration to live a simpler
   and more intentional life, but hopefully also to be more adventurous, play more,
   travel more ... in short: Do more of what brings joy to life - on your own terms!

   Else Kosberg is an inspirational author and life designer / life coach for women,
   who early in life developed a passion for France and everything French. At first
    through the language, French music and films, but later even more deeply through her friendship with a French girl. Her first visit to France in 1984 rooted the French culture and way of living in her heart, and when she returned to her own country, Norway, she started to incorporate the French lifestyle in her own life. Her lifestyle coaching is naturally influenced by this, but you don't have to be a sworn Francophile to follow Else. You'll soon find that her approach to how you can start living a more intentional and simple life and become the best possible version of yourself, is more like a blueprint that can be adjusted to your personal preferences and your own idea of what a good life is.

As part of her own good life, Else loves to write, take photos, shoot videos and be creative in every possible way (wicker-work, photography and writing are just a few of the things she loves).
She also loves to travel and learn about other cultures and places, and has published 2 issues of the magazine The Passionate Globetrotter and created a separate travel blog on this website (and also an Instagram account) with the same name. But with her fascination for France and everything French, and because she's found that the French lifestyle is very much in line with her personality and how she wants to live her life, she decided to dedicate much of her lifestyle blog to this lifestyle.

In time, Else also wants to create events like retreats and group travels to France, and to Provence in particular, but due to the current pandemic situation all over the world, these events have had to be put on the back-burner for a while.
