description: Elloise Bennett is a writer, traveler and teacher. Born in South Africa, Elloise has lived an expat existence in San Diego, London, and Amsterdam. She currently is based in a small village in the south of France where she runs a B&amp;B out of an old moulin in partnership with 'The Dad's Squared'. She splits her time between her guests, work and exploring airports around the world. She grew up in the hotel and restaurant industry, and that is part of where 'Celia' also comes from - Elloise has a dream to one day own her very own B&amp;B. A graduate from University of San Diego and Royal Holloway, University of London, with degrees in European History and Art History, Elloise has taught and served as a school administrator. Always ready for a challenge, Elloise also runs an online educational service business, teaches pedagogy and educational leadership through the University of San Diego, Professional and Continuing Education division (thank goodness for online classes!!) and writes a travel blog. She likes to cook, drink wine, sip coffee, read, write, travel, laugh, spend time with friends, work, and take long walks along the river with her dog. On sunny afternoons she can be found with her laptop, working on her blog and the next book.
