ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Claire and I'm from the SF Bay Area. I graduated from college in New York City this spring, and I'm spending the summer at home writing and bussing pomodoro-stained dishes before moving to France at the end of September to be an assistante d'anglais in two middle schools. I considered having a normal-person career for a while, but when I couldn't think of anything I wanted to do that involved desks and timecards I decided to devote my foreseeable future to my two greatest passions, travel and writing.

PHILOSOPHY

Amore, Gioia, Dolore, Tutto
