I am a 40-something American woman living in Bordeaux, France. I am the lone star, battle born. That just means that I was born in Texas, and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada! In the States, I was a journalist and belly dance teacher.
In France, I work in wine tourism as a guide, a tribal bellydance teacher, an English teacher for private enterprises, a writer and an eternal student. I love my husband, I love my dog and sometimes I love and hate France!
