RinR: Snoop, Big Jesus, Futebol, and inappropriate songs.


Oi. I just had the best weekend ever. Like, super Brazilian adventure weekend: Almost died in a taxi, got nauseous on a bus ride, was heckled on the street, saw a monkey, sweated out my eyeballs, was in the middle... Continue Reading →

RinR: This Week in Tarantulas


It's the MOST wonderful TIME of the YEAR. School's almost out! Actually this part of the year is crazy for teachers because kids checked out in April, and now you're just herding cats and making sure your warm body count... Continue Reading →

RinR: Things I Miss While Living Abroad


1. My dog. I should probably feel guilty about not putting my family and friends here first, but those people can Face my Time. Kizzy and I have tried communicating that way, but it stresses her out to hear my voice... Continue Reading →
