American woman married to a man from Madagascar while we were both living in Istanbul, Turkey.
Currently travelling America in a van we named Joe Davis.
I am equal parts adventurer and sloth, wanting to trek and travel while fighting the constant urge to nap on my couch with a cup of tea. My husband, Michel, is more reserved than I am, though still very adaptable. He is more driven and disciplined, so together we balance each other out quite well.

"...it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much; my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain, and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life..." -American Beauty
