| Introduction | I am, to put it simply, a rather peculiar girl of twenty-one currently studying, traveling, adventuring, and perpetually wandering whilst living abroad in the UK. While I like to think myself a sensible soul, I'll admit to having an extremely active imagination that often cannot be tempered even by frequent literary travels, and so inclines me towards the exploration of the fantastic wherever it can be found. But despite these oddities, I hope that you'll enjoy this account of my (mis)adventures abroad and will occasionally be tempted to drop in and say hello. It is my wish that this little plot in cyberland will serve to connect me to those with whom I have been obliged to part in addition to allowing me some amount of satisfaction in the writing of them. |
