About this blog
My name is Rachel, I'm 24, and this is my blog. I'm an aspiring writer with a serious case of wanderlust. I am currently writing from Compiegne, France, where I'll be until July 2011, while doing an assistantship through the French government teaching English to elementary school kids. I'm trying to make this blog something to be proud of, even if I lack consistency. I'll try to share my best pictures, regular updates on my life, links and news of interest, and maybe -hopefully- even the occasional short story. Comments, ratings, and other interaction is highly encouraged!-

Big help from some little people
Can you say culture shock? I’ve seen a lot of different places, but I am ceaselessly amazed at how completely foreign almost everything is here. To explain life here in a nutshell (which of course is ultimately inadequate), it is … Continue reading
