About Me

dedicated to the lost art of living.

trying to find less traditional ways to get by in the world. lived in two countries and have visited four. aimless wandering within your own person can be either invigorating or mildly depressing. i can't be anyone but myself, but those confines are broader than even i sometimes know.
to lay it out straight: 25, too much hair, green eyes. freelance writer, dabbler, musician, photographer, book buyer and seller, proud francophile.
