OUR
STORY

In a world where borders can separate us, Bridge Across Borders, Inc. began with a story of two passionate women from different countries, united by their love for teaching and exploration.

Across oceans and continents, their paths intertwined through a shared network and mutual friends. Recognizing their shared vision, they took a leap of faith and decided to collaborate in uncharted territory. Within just six months, they transformed their shared dream into reality with their inaugural project in the culinary arts.

​

Driven by their belief in the transformative power of cultural exchange, they embarked on this journey together, breaking down barriers and celebrating diversity through the universal language of food.

​

This partnership laid the foundation for Bridge Across Borders, Inc., where we continue to build bridges of understanding and friendship between France and the United States, one initiative at a time.
