I'm a Chilean-American, born in Japan, living in Switzerland. I drink too much coffee, am addicted to Young Adult Literature, speed Scrabble, creative cooking, and my Polaroid Land Camera. I'm learning what it means to live as an Expat and using my darling dog to make friends (cause Lord knows the French isn't coming as fast as it should). I regard my five-pound toy fox-rat terrier, named Sophie, as my child; I've been known to think she is cuter than other "children" (canine or human). [misgirlandpup@gmail.com]
