MEET THE TEAM
Aleyah Solomon
Co-founder | Creative Director
From picking up a camera at age 6, fast forward to 2005 and finally I began my studies at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) University. It was here, I decided my goal would be to start my own magazine based on art, fashion and travel with a focus on visuals.
​
I was born in Nova Scotia, Canada and have lived in Halifax, Toronto, Montreal and Paris. After moving to Paris, France in 2016, it became evident that my life would revolve around this city–whether I stay permanently or frequent my travels there. I love to learn random facts about places and am really interested in history. Most of my travel destinations started out based on musicals I really liked. I was so intrigued by Argentina, thanks to Evita, and of course, Les Miserables and the Phantom of the Opera had me hooked on Paris at a young age. My latest fascination is everything drone – being a new drone owner, so that is one thing you can expect to see throughout my Instagram feed as well as some upcoming City Guides and Issues for Here & There Magazine!
Alexa Bouhelier-Ruelle
Editorial Director
With a lifelong passion for culture, more specifically cinema, English Literature studies at the University of Edinburgh and a master’s degree in journalism from the Sorbonne, I joined the team in 2019 as Editor. I was born in Paris but grew up in the South of France in Aix en Provence; until I graduated High School and moved back to Paris, where I have been based since then.
Living in Scotland had been a dream of mine for a long time, and in 2016, I finally had the opportunity to move there for a year. Scotland stole my heart from the very first time I visited when I was 12 years old: the culture, the history, the people and the folklore stayed with me. It will always have a very special place in my heart and definitely a destination worth discovering, if only for its capital city, Edinburgh. A very peculiar city, full of life – and mysteries, history, fog in the morning, nature, a bubbling nightlife and an internationally renowned artistic stage. What is there not to love?
