Scoop du Monde: Some belated thoughts on turning 30
http://scoopdumonde.blogspot.com/2009/05/some-belated-thoughts-on-turning-30.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. Some belated thoughts on turning 30. I am a late bloomer. Always have been, always will be. And so, it is exciting to me that I am finally turning 30. To think, all the things I have yet to do, and how much better they will be now that I am not such a stupid, naive and unprepared 20 year-old! Ha, yeah right. All of a sudden I want a bigger ass, to turn 30 and get on a fucking plane out of the most isolated city in the world! June 9, 2009 at 2:57 AM. Follow this blog with bloglovin.

Scoop du Monde: July 2009
http://scoopdumonde.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 31, 2009. I've successfully ignored this blog to the point of distraction and so that it's become so big a task that I can't wrap my brain around it. Is it because I've been so busy having a fabulous time that I've stopped tearing myself away from the fun to record it? Or, is it because travel has become so very normal that I'm not sure what to share? What exactly am I doing, anyway? I was in a rut. Movement is a good thing, and I've had plenty of it. I feel instantly at ease once the tr...

Scoop du Monde: October 2008
http://scoopdumonde.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2008. A jew, an irishman and a travelling tattoo artist go to Sao Paulo. At least, that´s where I found myself six months after leaving California for Guatemala. After a day carrying around his CDs (no, he didn´t know about iTunes), my giggles got the best of me when the airline lost our bags. But I really started to laugh when Michel pulled a taser out in the subway, for protection of course, from the bag he carried on the plane. A taser. Really? Links to this post. I am at the very...

Scoop du Monde: June 2008
http://scoopdumonde.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 28, 2008. Do you want to make party? Are you still with me, are you still following along? Walking down the street in foreign countries often means people will spontaneously practice their English. The people that shout things out, however, usually have a limited vocabulary. In France, for example, a lady walking down the street can be serenaded by ¨Fuck You.¨ In Peru and Guatemala, you can expect ¨Hello, my friend, my friend! 168; There is a lot of love here, apparently. Teaching our begi...

Scoop du Monde: December 2008
http://scoopdumonde.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 12, 2008. I have arrived in Bocas del Toro, Panama after six days at sea. Huh, I´ve always wanted to write that. And so, as a sad farewell to Central and South America; a goodbye to beans and rice; to the hunt for small change; to bed bugs and sand flies; to cold showers; to travelling Irishmen; to bottles of rum; to reggaeton; to ham and cheese sandwiches; to every identical travel conversation and to those few you meet, that count, along the way.here are my favorite WTF. 9 Travelling w...

Scoop du Monde: July 2008
http://scoopdumonde.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 24, 2008. La carne en Argentina. I want to take my clothes of for it. I´m having a dirty affair with meat and I can´t seem to stop myself. Extraordinaire - I think you have to be born here to really cook meat like this. Seasoned just with salt, it cuts like butter and you are in heaven with every bite. Nico, and his friend Gabriel, purchased 5 kilos of meat. Blood sausage), chorizo, vacío, tire, lomo. Asados normally start with chorizo and bread, or rather,. So, hows my. Links to this post.

Scoop du Monde: September 2008
http://scoopdumonde.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 20, 2008. Mi casa, mi musica. When expats move to BsAs they move. To Palermo. Even before you arrive, travelers tell you that you will spend all your time in Palermo, that it's the only place to be. Cheto. Julia, a fellow English teacher, also lives here. A neurotic Jew (she wouldn't mind me saying) from New York City. We often huddle together over the gas stove (it's really freezing here in the winter) and discuss where to find moneda. Because my thoughts are never far from food, I a...

Scoop du Monde: Life after happily ever after
http://scoopdumonde.blogspot.com/2009/08/life-after-happily-ever-after.html
Friday, August 21, 2009. Life after happily ever after. These are big enough transitions. But the unanticipated hardship has been settling into these changes with a completely unsettled me. All of these transitions I took in stride. I found a job. Check. I am in the same town as most of my friends and my boyfriend. Check. I can talk to my family on a regular basis. Check. I understand the culture I am in and it understands me. Check. And now, what? So, it's been a gallimaufry. A traveler. A drinker&#...
