Today we have the singular Glynnis MacNicol, journalist, memoirist and author of the new book, I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy Myself: One Woman's Pursuit of Pleasure in Paris. We explore what it means to be a woman untethered, single, child-free and a quest to have fun -- for fun's sake. Gylnnis' memoir takes place during the summer of 2021, as she ventured from NYC to Paris during the global pandemic. We discuss the economics of being Gynnis, how she afforded her time abroad, and how she affords many of her rich experiences (without needing to spend money).
