Originally called ‘Les histoires de une Australienne godiche en France’ or, ‘The Stories of an inelegant Aussie Chick in France’. Then it was something about ‘Wine Movies and Travel’ after leaving France. Then when I got home, became a teacher, and moved to the sticks, I changed it to ‘Somewhere Rural’.
About this Blog:
For my travels, my hobbies, and those random other things I’d like to put on the internet.
The photo is from one of my favourite murals by Banksy. Despite having visited the UK dozens of times, I haven’t technically travelled it: it’s always been a stepping stone to somewhere else. So I have yet to see a Banksy mural in the flesh. Terrible.
About Me:
I am: an English teacher in a South Australia rural high school / a lover of wine / Australian / over educated / a relapsed nerd / a reader and writer / an atypical bogan / a knitter and sewer / a painter and designer / fat / and a traveller.
I was: an assistant d’anglais at a Northern French high school / an eternal student / a teacher in Japan / a reformed nerd / 60kilos / in the US the year before the year before last / and in Europe two years before that.
I will: pay off my credit card / buy a house / and then be travelling again asap.
