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!-
