drawn from an album cover (of a song my friend sent me) while i was waiting for my flight back to london from basel, switzerland. ive been debating on whether to get my hair like this. afro status! fam & friends &strangers have all been against it. i might just rebel soon.

BACK ON US SOIL

hello, hallo, hola, bonjour, & cheers!
your favorite blogga with extra swagga has returned from her long four month trek overseas in the uk; which activities included homework as well as not doing homework, gettin vitamins in firewater form, tons of walking, no sleep, gettin lost a million times, spoke français/deutsche/español, gettin ripped off left and right, good food/ehh food, met alottalotta amazing people, had an intense travel bug, and accents all around. i absolutely lovedddddd everything. learned a lot bout myself, as corny as it sounds. feels great and strange to be home.

hope you missed me san francisco :)

Pre-flight drawings.

Damm good.

just one of my doodles from barcelona. no luxury of a scanner has driven me to take a photo of it instead. my sister & i shared a 'damm' beer while charles had a cafe con leche :)

Day xxx.

so im way past the 3digit mark of being overseas. excuse the lack of updates. its been quite hectic with all the fam that came to visit. it's my sister + her boyfriend this time. we've already went to barcelona/spain and we've just arrived in basel/switzerland. zürich tomorrow for two days, back to london for another few, and then i'll be home in no time!

Draw me.

during such session at a bar in paris, a fellow approached us and we all ended chattin up for a bit. swapped our life stories + he recommended a restaurant up the street where we had an amazing dinner with allthingsfrench: escargot/duck/foiegras/fondue/cremebruleé.
