Essays: Jayne (CoyoteBroad) In Germany... and Beyond

 
These essays/blogs/blawgs are adapted from emails I sent to various friends while living in Germany, from February 2001 to April 2009.

I posted them here on the web mostly for my family and friends, but I hope that they will also inspire other women out there to travel abroad, and will be helpful to those living abroad for the first time.
