So I have been insanely busy lately and have only been in my flat long enough to get some sleep. Therefore, my writing has suffered. I am going to play catch up the next couple of days. I have over 700 pictures to be downloaded and edited and at least 5 stories brewing in my … Continue reading »
Rêves, Soirées, and My Week
This week was tough. For one, I was suffering from a case of what I refer to as PTD (post-travel depression) brought on by my return from Copenhagen. Although PTD happens quite often in my life, I have yet to figure out how to rid myself of the blues that set in after a great … Continue reading »

But I havent completely decided if that is France’s fault or the … Continue reading »
May. The month of visitors.
A lot has changed recently. And it is all going fast. Mostly good changes and other inevitable changes. This month I moved into my new place. I seriously can’t believe that I have been here a month already but in a way it seems so mine that I feel like I have been here longer. … Continue reading »
Learning and Loving a Language
Now that my stay in France has turned slightly more permanent… as in I have no idea when and if I will ever leave… I have had this new take on French. To be honest I was lazy when I first moved here but that was because there was not much of a point to … Continue reading »
