Get it? Among Ye men...Yemen... because I moved to Yemen. And also because I'm a girl.

so dang American
Today as we were bumbling around the streets of Yemen, trying to act nonchalant but creating a ruckus wherever we went, we wondered- what’s the Arabic word for “gringo?”
23 and on the move... to Yemen! After years of talking about it I have finally decided to make a bold and audacious move, I'm moving to the Middle East! Although quite ill-prepared I know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and simply could not be missed. So for one year I will attempt to immerse myself in an entirely foreign culture and way of life. I hope to learn the language and gain invaluable insight and experience into Muslim culture. What an adventure this shall be! This blog chronicles my exploits, absurdities, and adventures during my Year-long Yemeni Adventure.
