In the Midwest, where I am from, I have officially entered "lesbian status" given that I am 30 and single. The joking at Christmas-time stopped at about age 23. I rarely hear, "Kristin, when are you going to find that special someone?" which was obnoxiously repeated by every member of my family. I might as well join the old m... More..

Having been to France, Ethiopia, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Israel, Mexico and passed through a lot of other places on my journeys, I've traveled enough to know America is not all it's cracked up to be.
