I am an expatriate.I am American, and I am now living in Brazil. I am currently in Salvador.
About me
A published poet, Ph.D. dropout, and former Peace Corps volunteer, I make my home in a small patch of coconut palms and blue chlorinated calm, surrounded by walls edged with broken glass, between the Archdiocese of Salvador and the stench of burning trash, between the Bay of All Saints and the Coconut Road, between homesickness and awe, between the mystical dunes of Abaete and the Atlantic Ocean.

My blog
The Golden Papaya
The premise: What happens when an American woman and her Brazilian American husband pack up their life in Philadelphia and move with their five-year old Jimmie Rodgers wannabe, their three-year old with a head of wild curls and a temperament to match, and their newborn babe to Salvador, Bahia to work at an international school? The answer: a whole new level of chaos ensues. Herein, a chronicle of said adventure.
