I have always wondered what happened when someone left their life where it sat and decided to do something different for a while. I've always hoped to find a story—a book, a blog, a newspaper article—that enlightened the stationary masses to what happens when you up and leave.
Then I got the bright idea to write that blog myself.
In the next few posts I will provide a bit of background as to who I am, what I am leaving, and how I am leaving it.
About Me
- Chantal
- United States
- I’m twenty-four years old; I was born August 3, 1985. I grew up in northern New Jersey and moved to New Mexico for college in 2003, at age eighteen. I graduated from the College of Santa Fe in May 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in creative writing with a concentration in poetry, fiction and nonfiction with a minor in journalism. Since 2006 I have worked at the Santa Fe Reporter, an alternative weekly newspaper, as a writer and editor. I am currently renting a small studio casita from a friend in the town of Madrid, New Mexico, about twenty-six miles south of Santa Fe. I have a 5-year-old pit bull, Blake, and a 2-year-old cat, Cedric.
