| Introduction | Jeweler. Artist. Translator. Traveler. I started this blog in 2005 while living in Austin, Texas. I was about to move to Mozambique to work with some friends I'd met while in business school in Brazil. (There's a lot of geography in my life story!) Initially my blog was a way for me to keep in touch with family and friends while in Africa, but it soon became much more. I met hundreds of people because of my writing, many of whom were also moving to Mozambique and looking for support. Over the years I chronicled my work in international development, my growing passion for making jewelry, career change and art school, starting my own business, and peppered throughout the beginning and end of a major relationship. Nowadays I'm still writing, still traveling, still making art, and my heart is full. This next stage is all about family and love, the places we are from and the paths we have chosen to follow, and the complex mix of what constitutes home and identity. |
