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!-

Sunny outlook
I’ve recently taken some pictures that I’ve found worth sharing. These three are of sunsets or evening skies that I’ve taken around San José. Unfortunately the sky is poorly captured in pictures, but these are still pretty spectacular. Credit for … Continue reading
In Bloom
I see new things all the time here, but I am never as amazed as I am by the incredible flowers that are grown in gardens and wildly in the places I frequent. I have no idea what these flowers … Continue reading

¡Las Frutas!
The world is alive! Sometimes, after a long winter or a bad season, it’s hard to remember or recognize the ways that the nature around us is providing for us. I’ve been buying groceries at a supermarket so frequently that … Continue reading
