Countries I've Traveled To
[View Map]
Austria, Belgium, Belize, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Guatemala, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States
Languages Spoken
English, Mandarin Chinese, 5 years of French and counting but I still suck, enough Spanish to sound like a complete idiot en espagnol.
Interests
I like kitties. I'm about a year and a half into a 5-year plan to go from chain-smoking couch potato to TOTALLY EXTREME.
Books you might find in my backpack
One Rough Guide and one Lonely Planet, Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad... Wait, my backpack's getting heavy; I gotta ditch Lord Jim... I'll never finish that damn book will I?
Music you might find me listening to while waiting for my plane
None as I don't own a portable music device and won't even pack a cell phone while I travel... I'll probably be wishing I was listening to some Johnny Thunders or The Jam, though. Or I might be humming Eidelwiess from The Sound of Music. I have no idea why that song is *always* stuck in my head
Most Memorable Travel Experience
Hitchhiking from Prague to Vienna in a bigrig, fishing for pirahna in the Amazon, paragliding in Lima, hiking to Glacier Point in Yosemite

For reviews, advice and misadventures in travel, check out my other blogs. This is a different type of journey. This blog is about moving to New York because my dad has cancer, about being completely lost in the one city eveyone can find on a map.

My Life is Not Full House: Notes from San Francisco
My Life is Not Full House: Notes from San Francisco

OK, you know that San Francisco you see in the movies? Where people with questionable income live in cute little victorians and travel across the golden gate bridge constantly (Why are they going to Marin, anyways?)? And everything is clean? Yeah, that's not me. I live in the Mission where it's flat and dingy and full of burritos. It's fabulous. Anyway, this is a collection of stuff that happens in SF, as well as summary collections from my travels.
