My body doesn’t quite know what to make of my travels. Freezing cold, arid Colorado to moderately cold New York to balmy, humid Louisiana. I’ve managed to get a cold, fortunately not covid, and am soldiering through. I flew to New Orleans yesterday. It’s a city I love and have been to many times, but this trip is different. It is being sponsored by the Louisiana Office of Tourism.

In pursuit of her passion for travel, she lost and gained friends and lovers and made a radical career change.

She visited remote areas of Indonesia on her own and became a translator, though only fluent in English.
