I'm Lauren. Can't decide between being from Texas or California, but both have my heart.
I have a fondness for bikes, peppermint tea, old linoleum floors, proper punctuation, my dad's sweaters and scotch, salty skin, warm concrete, ampersands, sexual tension, cheap wine, hedgehogs & hydrangeas.And listing shit.
It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.
