La Marseillaise

Three months, a city, and me.

There are few things I enjoy more than walking down a quiet Cambridge street in spring at sunset, with the light glistening through the trees and the birds gently chirping in the night. I hope I never forget this feeling.

Every woman should travel alone

At 27, I took a road trip across the country by myself. It was foolish and lonely and the best thing I've ever done

A daring, pensive essay on travel that I didn't expect I'd relate to so well. Thank you.

"Yes, I was scared at times, but I had also been scared sitting on my futon watching “The Real World.” (Scared of the phone, scared of the future, scared of what people said about me.) The far more terrifying fate, as I saw it, was that I would fail to become the person I wanted to be. I still wasn’t sure what that was yet. I spent much of those five months feeling like a kite dangling on a string. Was I going to head to grad school? Write for television? Open my own school? My mind filled with clouds. But my God, it was fun."

Sometimes I use my home phone just so I feel like a little kid again. Forgot what it felt like to have to sit still, in one place, held captive by the cord in the wall.

that awful moment when you realize you've eaten a whole baguette and you can't blame it on studying abroad anymore because you're not studying abroad.
