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!-

Intruders??
Since I was robbed, my typical paranoia has been raised to a level of near insanity. In the days immediately following the robbery, I found that I would shake (knees, hands, the whole bit) anytime I had to walk anywhere … Continue reading
Chocolate Zucchini Cake
Since I don’t have an oven, I have developed a hobby of drooling over baking recipes that I plan to make as soon as I have access to one. Here is an awesome recipe from my mom that is even almost … Continue reading

Red or black beans are what we usually make, and the difference between the two is really minuscule if at all. Most importantly, they are both cooked the exact same way. On the occasion that most Americans include beans in … Continue reading
Going Bananas
This picture was taken from the window on the side of the apartment. It is of a banana plant and a squirrel from the neighboring farm. The squirrels here are interesting because they look so different from Pennsylvanian squirrels. Also, … Continue reading
