A brief break in the reading and writing content today for me to reminisce on the fact that it’s been 10 years since I left Normandy, and still, it’s rare a day will go by that I don’t think of that place and my experiences there.
Normandy
On Traveling Alone
Travel Tip: Talk to Strangers
Time for another travel essay. Today’s topic: on why you should talk to strangers while traveling.
The French Shrug (or, How I Almost Committed Horse-Theft)
Time for another travel essay. Today, one of the things I do not miss about France.
Wanderlusty Wednesday
Just a quick note to say I’ve started a new job this week and I’m a bit busy, to say the least. This weekend I need to figure out a way to have time to work, and write, and blog, and sleep. (If anyone has any tips, please let me know.)
And it’s Wanderlusty Wednesday, so I have to leave you with something! So if you’re contemplating a trip, here are some suggestions…
Wanderlusty Wednesday: Bayeux
Wanderlusty Wednesday: D-Day Beaches
Having lived in Normandy for a year, it would have been more than remiss of me never to see arguably the region’s biggest draw…
Wanderlusty Wednesday: Les plages de la Normandie
I meant to do a post about traveling to the D-Day beaches in Normandy today, but I do not have time. So for now I’ll leave you with this photo of one of those beaches–they’re oddly incredibly peaceful today–with more info to come next week. Stay tuned!
Wanderlusty Wednesday
I wish I was on a beach somewhere, anywhere, instead of in the office today. That is all.

Wanderlusty Wednesday: Giverny
Time to talk about one of my favorite places on earth…
Do you like flowers?
Of course you do. They’re beautiful and fragrant. Do you like Monet?
How could you not? His paintings are beautiful. So I suggest you head to the place that feels like you’ve just stepped into one of his paintings: Giverny, in Normandy France.
