About
Thanks for stopping by.
So this About page was like delivering a baby, it took me a 9 months enough to write it! The problem is that it is very hard to define myself.
I am many things. I’m a wife to a French man; a cat mommy to Jessica, who is queen of the household, we just pay the mortgage and keep her in kibble> I am a wanna be writer, a world traveler, a foodie, a bookworm, and a movie nut.
I grew up an Army brat living all over the United States plus Latin America and Europe. I am a total klutz who has somehow managed not to break a single bone in her body. Not for lack of practice.
In 2003, my employer at the time transferred me to Switzerland. This was the first time I lived in a foreign country without my parents. So of course there were mishaps, or misadventures which I reported to all my friends and family in a weekly email called Misadventures with Andi.
When I decided to start a blog, the name stuck.
I have a day job, a side-business, this blog and no life. Just kidding. Not really.
I am a home-body who really is rather shy, although none of my friends buy it.
I blog about the things I like. The things I don’t like. Food, travel, books, movies. Having lived in France and adoring Paris, I write a lot about that too.
I am not a domestic goddess, fashionista, or a mean person, if you are looking for that, move along.
I don’t take myself seriously and don’t expect any of you to either.
================================
I do a monthly write-up on my Top 5 posts for the month, this might give you an idea about the types of posts I have here on Misadventures, you can check them out here.

I have just stumbled across your site via the blog revue site. I love your ‘About’ description. Your outlook on life sounds very similar to mine. I will keep reading!!

Smooches,

Hello. I’ve been reading your blog for a short while and have given you an award. You can find it at my blog.
I think I love you (and your blog too)! How lucky are you that you lived in Paris. I am jealous. I found you through Shauna, who I met earlier in the year. I should have her re-do my blog!
I came across your site via http://www.cheeseandbeans.com and I have to say I recognise myself in your description of yourself. I am a Brit transplant to NYC, a complete foodie and a Francophile, although I’m sort of pondering a move to San Francisco too. Have Greencard will travel
I’m also fairly shy, but my friends don’t believe me, but I’m a lot more outspoken than I used to be. 10years in NYC beats the shyness out of you after a while. It’s like aversion therapy 
Your blog’s wonderful. I will look in all the time.
