About me
Bonjour. I’m Olivia and I started the Frugal Bon Vivant to share deals and my bon vivant approach to frugal living! I’ve always been a sucker for a deal, so when I quit my job in 2008 to travel for a year, finding deals became even more important. I live in Portland, Oregon and when I’m not scouring the web for deals I can be found enjoying the great outdoors, dreaming about travel, drinking massive cups of coffee, cooking from my garden, and creating extensive lists… among a few other things.

I love comments and email, so hit me up!
