CURRENT MISSION

To learn to love French bureaucracy...

ABOUT ME

Lazy, crazy Southern (USA) blonde who loves big cities and traveling by train. Prefers to venture off the beaten track in search of local specialties, and locals. Would like to learn anything, anywhere and usually not too far from a bottle of wine.

PHILOSOPHY

Satisfaction is a lowly thing;
How pure a thing is joy.
