Hello! Bonjour!
Thanks for stopping by! My name is Andi Fisher and I am pleased to meet you and share a little about who I am.
I am a full-time corporate gal with close to 30 years of experience in customer advocacy, social media, influencer + content marketing. In November 2015, I quit my job in San Francisco, sold my house in Berkeley, and bought an RV with my hubby! During 2016, we escaped the old life and traveled throughout the U.S. Check out where we went!
We landed in Phoenix where we spent 2 years exploring the beautiful Southwest. I went back to corporate life working as the program manager for an enterprise influencer program and then got a dream job managing a customer advocacy program at Red Hat (all opinions are mine and not my employer’s). I fell in love with Raleigh, North Carolina and at the beginning of 2020, Mr. Misadventures and I picked up our household, left Phoenix, and resettled on the East Coast in the wonderful Raleigh-Durham area.
I am a blogger, storyteller, influencer, brand ambassador, and marketer.
Oh and a Francophile who happens to be married to a French man.
I am a world traveler, a foodie, a bookworm, and a movie nut.
I grew up an Army brat living all over the United States, Latin America, and Europe.
I’ve also worked all over the world.
I am a total klutz who has somehow managed not to break a single bone in her body. Not for lack of practice.
I am not a domestic goddess, fashionista, or a mean person, if you are looking for that, move along.
I don’t take myself too seriously and don’t expect any of you to either.
That’s me in a nutshell.
Why Misadventures with Andi?
In 2003, I moved to Switzerland to work. That was the first time living in a foreign country without my parents, so of course, there were mishaps, or misadventures, which I reported to all my friends and family in a weekly email called Misadventures with Andi.
I’d rather have misadventures than no adventures at all!
In 2008, when I decided to start a blog, the name stuck.
I blog about the things I like: travel, food (lots of food), movies, books, blogging, and social media.
Want to work with me? Here is my Media Kit. Want to hire me? Here’s what I can do for you.
Welcome and let the misadventures roll!

I think I love you (and your blog too)! How lucky are you that you lived in Paris. I am jealous. I found you through Shauna, who I met earlier in the year. I should have her re-do my blog!

I came across your site via http://www.cheeseandbeans.com and I have to say I recognise myself in your description of yourself. I am a Brit transplant to NYC, a complete foodie and a Francophile, although I’m sort of pondering a move to San Francisco too. Have Greencard will travel 😉 I’m also fairly shy, but my friends don’t believe me, but I’m a lot more outspoken than I used to be. 10years in NYC beats the shyness out of you after a while. It’s like aversion therapy 😉

@Risamay, hi and welcome, it is never too late to meet new people!

I just found your blog via your ad on HIParis. Your statement about being a total klutz but somehow managing not to break a bone – perhaps we are realated?! That is me! Iem an American expat who fell for a Frenchman too. I look forward to following your misadventures.

@BonjourRomance, bienvenue! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I look forward to checking out your blog as well!

I found your site via Blogroll, & LOVE the way you describe your klutziness! Until I broke my wrist in an uber-amazing display of multiple klutz variations I call “dancing with a concrete corner,” I too had never broken a bone. Sprained stuff, brushburns, regular bones, cuts, bruises, yep. Until my Dance, no broken bones.
I’m an inconsistent, wannabe blogger. It’s not for lack of discipline; I have been collecting chronic illnesses, I believe since toddlerhood if not birth, & came across one during my travels with a military spouse (which I adored & miss terribly!) that ultimately sidelined me-but not before I’d worked, full time, for 22 yr. when it should have sidelined me after 5, max 10 years (esp. as I kept adding chronic conditions, the most recent being psoriasis). Now, it’s getting even with me, in a major way, & has interfered with blogging on a regular basis.
I’m a teacher, nurse, & wannabe computer geek/technophile. I like educating people, & have information on my blog teaching people how to avoid overdoses of acetaminophen (the generic name for Tylenol), some healthcare observations, & even some miscellany. I hope to add a bit more at least once a week, health permitting.
Thanks for your delightful descriptions & for blogging!

@Amy, thank you so much for the kind words. Glad to hear there is other klutzy people out there! For someone who has had to deal with a lot of illness, you sound wonderfully chipper – I think I am going to like that about you!
March 2, 2011
I am loving your blog right now.
March 12, 2011
Hi Andi, Great to connect with a fellow wannabe frenchie and fleur de lis fanatic 🙂 Hope you enjoy my eiffel tower, fleur de lis and paris bag necklace as much as I enjoyed making it! 🙂
I’ll be following your misadventures!

I normally don’t read a lot of blogs, but I really enjoyed reading the Life Lessons from Scarlett O’Hara blog, and that lead to reading others. I like your honestly and how you say what’s on your mind!
