My life in Germany isn't exactly extraordinary or glamorous, but everyone keeps telling me to write a book. Even though I like to envision my self as a soul sister of Mark Twain, sadly, reality is not of the same opinion. So, instead of a book I decided to start a blog. It’s about finding my place as an expat, travelling, food, sharing the funny things my students say, and generally just reliving awkward situations I seem to find myself in. I am a magnet for the weird. I suppose as my sister said, this is a place where I can record my thoughts so when I write my book, I have a resource to pull from…or I like to think, when she writes my book. Keep in mind this isn't going to be Eat, Pray, Love, The Alchemist, or any other kind of soul-searching, you-can-do-it, peppy life blog. It's not here to change or inspire. It’s just the facts of my life.
Fact#1: I'm an American who teaches English to what are mostly German adults.
Fact#2: My students say ridiculous things, but they bring me food, so I forgive them.
Fact #3: I love food.
Fact#4: If it's awkward, it's probably happened to me.
Fact#5: I've lived in Germany about 6 years now.
Fact#6: I've traveled the world, and by the world I mean Europe.
Fact#7: I've become a slight European snob.
Fact#8: Did I mention I love food?
This is a work in progress. So sit back, and enjoy the read.
