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!-

Culture shock sometimes includes an actual shock
Very few people here have water heaters. In their place people use electric showerheads and function with cold sink water. The electric showerhead contains a coil in the spout that, when it’s on, is heated by electricity. As the coil … Continue reading
Lockdown
The city and suburbs of San José are distinct in one very noticeable way. Everything, and I mean everything, is gated and locked. To get into Sebastian’s apartment, I have to unlock the door to the front gate that functions … Continue reading
