Continue reading →: Kale and sweet potato salad with cranberries and walnutsWhen I move to a brand new city, where I know NO ONE (which happens more than I ever thought it would), my method of choice for making new girlfriends is to start a book club. Thank goodness for meetup.com – I have zero clue how people met new friends before the Internet! I started…

Continue reading →: Essential Items for Organized Travel
As we’ve been packing our bags to return home these past couple weeks, I’ve been thinking a bit about the essential travel items I’ve carried with me everywhere this year. Over these past 12 months, I’ve spent time in 24 cities (plus several more to come next week!), so I feel like I have the…

Continue reading →: We’re Going Home!
I can’t believe this day is here. In my weakest moments, it seemed like it would never arrive, and in my moments of triumph and profound happiness, it seemed to rush nearer and nearer with malicious speed. And today, now that today is here, I feel both happy and sad,…

Continue reading →: The Last Market
This morning, Ben and I went to our neighborhood market, Marché des Arceaux, for the last time (it’s only open on Tuesdays and Saturdays). It’s known in Montpellier as the expensive market, mostly because everything is organic and local. Expensive or not, it’s our kind of market. They have the freshest fruits and…

I’m really trying to capture as much as I can during our final stretch as French residents. I know I’m going to forget so many things after we’re gone, so I’m immortalizing them here. (Ha. Do you ever wonder about that? How long things like blogs will be around? And…

As I’ve mentioned here a couple times, Ben and I went on a big trip with my parents and brother a few weeks ago. It always takes me forever to post about trips like this one because so much happens and I take so many pictures, and it’s overwhelming to…

Continue reading →: Paris, I Love… Um… Parts of You
Now that it’s officially been a month since we spent a few days in Paris, I feel like it’s time to recap it. Unfortunately, because I really don’t love Paris and I am a spiteful type of person, I took almost no pictures there. (Yes, I am a grown woman holding a grudge against a city for not being…

Continue reading →: Bastille Day in Carcassonne
Good morning, and happy Tuesday! I’ve just arrived home this morning from a fun long weekend in Carcassonne, a small medieval town about an hour and a half away from Montpellier. Ben and I went there in the fall and we both really loved it. We found out that they have an…
