Our Story

We're Jayce and Ashley.

Our story took us from the U.S. to Paris in May 2026, but the move was only the beginning. Now, we’re building a life abroad, discovering new places, and experiencing the world with a little more intention.


And we’re bringing you along for the journey.

Our Story

We're Jayce and Ashley.

We moved to Paris in May 2026 with big dreams, a lot to learn, and a deep love for travel.

 

This space is where we share it all the beautiful, the challenging, and everything in between.

ABOUT THE THOMPSONS ABROAD

Real life. Real places. Real Stories.

The Thompsons Abroad is more than a travel channel. It’s a window into our everyday life abroad.

From exploring charming neighborhoods and trying new foods to navigating the ups and downs of expat life, we’re here to inspire, guide, and connect with fellow travelers and dreamers.

WHAT WE BELIEVE IN

Curiosity

We believe the best experiences come from being open, asking questions, and exploring deeply.

Connection

Travel brings people together. We value the stories, the locals, and the community we build.

Intentional Living

We choose experiences that matter and design a life that feels meaningful.

Authenticity

We share the highs, the lows, and everything in between unfiltered and real.

A NOTE FROM US

Thanks for being here. It means the world.

This journey is more meaningful because we get to share it with you.

 

Whether you’re planning your first trip to Paris, dreaming of moving abroad, or just love following along we’re so glad you’re here.

 

Let’s keep exploring together.

Jayce & Ashley
