Hey guys! Just a quick blackberry post from my desk! I know…I’m sitting by my computer and I’m too excited by technology to update via “old” machinery. Tonight I’m working on “the book” (sounds so official, doesn’t it?) and I wanted to ponder a few, completely non-life changing points: 1) I can type using a phone keyboard. Hello All! Today was a fantastic day. I started a soft training for what may (hopefully!) be my job for the next few months…and it involves politics and all kinds of exciting, top-secret things. Ok, that’s slight exaggeration. Nothing top-secret (although I’ve considered buying a cheap rubber stamp that I can use to adorn my paperwork with . . . → Read More: A picture is worth…how many words? Hey guys! Just a short note to say that your favorite blogger has gone mobile! Yep, blogging will now be taking place from my new blackberry (totally got conned in to buying one by the salesman)…I’m talking twitter updates and the whole nine yards! I really AM back! . . . → Read More: Backpacking chica goes mobile! Enter: Blackberry Hey Folks! Yep, it’s me! I’m back! No, this is not an on-screen apparition (you know, you really should stop drinking all of that coffee); it is truly me! Yes, my friends, I’ve been gone from the blogosphere for some time now. I needed a little time to pull myself together, work on my book, and generally speaking, . . . → Read More: Back in Black!!! Welcome to Tallahassee, Florida. Bonjour tout le monde! It’s been one hell of a ride. The last eleven months: oh. my. word. Living in two African countries and then in Paris, France? The memories could fill a thousand books, which brings me to my exciting news/old news (for those of you who know me well). I have decided to write a book . . . → Read More: Life’s a changin’; leaving Paris, thoughts on "sex lives with cannibals", and other such important things. My time in Paris is almost up. Bet you didn’t know that! Yes, my dearies, I am returning to the US of A. More information on that tomorrow…but for now: What comes next? After months overseas…what is my next big adventure? I’ll let you guys guess, if you like. Hint: It does not involve a diamond ring, a nine-month . . . → Read More: What happens after all of your plans have run their course? Philosophical? Well, kinda. Today, or somewhere around this time, marks the 14th month of the existence of the “backpacking chica”. Pretty crazy, huh? In just fourteen months, I went from having no readers (except for my boyfriend and my dad) to having over 13,000 website visits in just 10 months. How did this happen? It all started when I decided . . . → Read More: Reflections on travel writing…yep, I’m getting philosophical. Hey Guys! Just checking in to let you all know that I’ve landed in South Africa and am settling into my new home on the Loskop Dam Reserve, about 50km outside of Middelburg. If you’re keen on seeind where the heck that is, take a look at the google map I’ve put in for all of you . . . → Read More: Blogging Business Hey Guys! Today I did the unthinkable – I started going through my clothes so I can donate them goodwill! It’s just under two months until I leave and I’m starting the process (slowly) of decluttering, organizing, and packing. After my second glass of wine I decided that unworn clothes should be the first to go. I’ve . . . → Read More: Planning, planning, planning – bioko island, vaccinations, and goodwill donations …sort of pulls you away from the world of trip planning. I’ve been wrapping up my last semester of school – I’m working on three projects simultaneously and taking my last two required courses. I have (please hold your applause) had to learn all of the Floridian frog calls and every frog, salamander, and turtle species . . . → Read More: Existing in the real world… |
