Kelsey Wanderer

Travel fanatic. Currently in Kabul. Can't wait til the day I will be able to afford to travel the world. Photography freak. Love my cats. Do-gooder wannabe. Crossing my fingers that I will be able to get a job in the aid and development field when I graduate. Obsessed with Afghanistan. Pretty freaking liberal. Watch waaaaay too much TV. Often weird. Loner. Loyal to a fault. History nerd. Slight sci-fi geek. Pathologically shy. Shakespeare nut. Quirky sense of humor. Raised in the country, but love the big city.

I feel a bit like all the good things, the perks of living here, have gradually disappeared over time and all that’s left is the bad.

Learning to appreciate the small things...

Like every day when I make it to the office without being kidnapped en route.

I've been doing waaaay too much shopping the past few days, with a lot more still to do before I head home on leave later this summer.

Found at my local grocery store -- only in Afghanistan?

[kelsey-wanderer]

My favorite place in the new house, even if there's not much of a view.

[kelsey-wanderer]

But it's so nice outside and I'm stuck in here :(

[kelsey-wanderer]

This is the best room, though.

[kelsey-wanderer]

Snuggling in my pattu makes my perpetually-freezing room so much more bearable. Best purchase ever. I should have bought one as soon as I got here - the past few months would have been much more comfortable.

[kelsey-wanderer]

Totally bought a pattu on chicken Street today. And I love it.

One of my favorite movies as a kid. I spent most of my childhood wanting to be Robin Hood when I grew up.

Okay, that didn't work. Back to comfort eating.
