Ramblings of a Jetlagged Feminist: Loving and Resisting US Citizenship
The first time I left the United States was January 24, 2000. I lived in Nicaragua for three months and worked in a refugee camp for displaced families of Hurricane Mitch.

Memories of the Philippines
I’m leaving for the airport in about 16 hours and packing is a small hurricane of suitcases, strewn clothing, and random wooden crafts that I believe will all fit in 2 suitcases.

I think I’ve stayed away from my site because I am afraid of the inevitable fragmentation that will happen […]
Baguio City, City of God
There’s no real way to describe the place from where I am blogging. First, I am in Baguio City [BAH-gee-yoh], Philippines. About 5 hours (oftentimes more, depending on weather) North of Manila, and the hometown of my mom. I traveled Thursday and will depart tomorrow, Monday afternoon. Baguio is, by far, THE most breathtaking place […]
