since i took two years of french in high school, i can make incredibly boring conversation in the language (all of the tourist talk, where is the bathroom, my name is anne, i am american, let’s go to the pool and so on ad nauseum), but nothing that anyone would stick around to listen to. i’d like to get to the point where i can have an interesting, intelligent conversation with a native french speaker in their own language.

so far i’ve been to sixteen. considering the fact that i didn’t start travelling until about three years ago, i’d say i’m doing pretty well.

idaho, illinois, indiana, kentucky, minnesota, montana, new jersey, new york, north dakota, oregon, south dakota, tennessee, texas, washington, wisconsin, wyoming.

i went to new york about three years ago, when i was seventeen. i believe that it’s somewhat overrated, but i liked it just the same. it feels very familiar (no small wonder, what with all the movies and books that take place there), and almost mythological, in a sense.
