I thought I'd write a little about myself as a chance to put in some pictures.
When telling people about my life, it's easiest to break it down into four parts: the four places that I consider myself to have lived.
Darien, Connectict
I was born and raised in Darien, Connecticut, and lived there until I left for college. My entire family including my parents and 2 brothers grew up in Darien and graduated from Darien High School.
Boulder, Colorado
After high school, I attended college at The Univsersity of Colorado at Boulder. I lived there for the next four years.
Sevilla, Spain
During my junior year at CU, I studied abroad in Sevilla, Spain. I lived there for 6 months with a Spanish woman, attended a Spanish univsersity, travelled a lot, and got a little better at speaking Spanish.
Monhegan, Maine
After I graduated from college, I decided to go live and work for a few months an island off the coast of Maine where my maternal grandmother grew up. It is a tiny island, one mile long by half a mile wide, with dirt roads, no cars, a handful of businesses, and a year round population of around 50 people. It is also gorgeous, and is known for being painted by artists including Jamie Wyeth, Rockwell Kent, and Edward Hopper. I worked as a cook in an inn and lived on the island for 6 months.
