I come from the liberal west coast of the grand US of A. Now I live in a dusty desert...my hometown's sister city (Beer Sheva, Israel). It's a land of immigrants, intolerance, and surprising hidden beauty. Every day there are things to be seen, absorbed, and, of course, written about. One day I would like to be a fabulous writer, but for now it's blogging and the life of a student. Shalom!
