I did eventually get to visit Paris. As well as Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Spain, Italy and Puerto Rico. Not to mention most of the West Coast and Texas. I’ve served pizza in Paris and sold bread in Berkeley, climbed mountains in Puerto Rico and descended into caves in Spain.

By far, my most rewarding travel experiences have been those in which I have had an opportunity to spend a significant amount of time in one place. In this way, I learn the language and something about the culture of the people who live there. I consider this an anthropological approach to travel. During college, I was able to spend a year in Paris learning the language and the culture. Between walks along the Seine I met a few natives that I still see once or twice a year.

Since college ended, I have spent as much of my time as possible learning languages (most recently, Spanish) and practicing those languages in situ. I am currently pursuing a doctorate in comparative literature at the City University of New York Graduate Center.
