Hi, I'm DAHNIELLA.
When I moved abroad, I quickly realised how much I didn't know. DAHNIELLA grew out of that. It's where I share the things I wish someone had told me. I also created Lisolo Community Paris, my community for bringing people together, online and in person.
Real people. Real conversations. Real community.
DAHNIELLA creates and hosts experiences that bring people together, for connection, conversation and community, both online and IRL.
Something exciting is coming.
The next Lisolo Community Paris gathering is in the works. Join the community to be the first to know when it's live.

DAHNIELLA
Why DAHNIELLA exists.
It wasn't only about the paperwork. There were so many things nobody tells you before you leave. I didn't just need information. I needed people who understood what it actually felt like, and a community that made the experience feel a little less lonely.
So I started sharing the things I wish someone had told me, and created Lisolo Community Paris, my community for bringing people together in person and online, where people navigating life abroad can connect, learn and feel less alone in it. France is a big part of that story. It's just not the whole of it.
Lisolo Community Paris
Lisolo Community Paris is a space for connection, conversations, experiences and bringing people together, both online and IRL. Group chats, dinners, game nights, book themed evenings, spontaneous meetups: this is where the community actually lives. Our WhatsApp group chat is called The Social Edit.

The Lisolo Archive
Lisolo Community Paris officially started in July 2026, and our very first event began with a brand sponsorship from Pesa. Very few communities can say that about their first gathering, and we know how valuable and lucky that is. We've stayed consistent since then. Here are some of the videos to see what it's like at our events.
Our first official gathering, sponsored by Pesa: an evening built around the book Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, with games, food and a room full of people building real connections.
