I am not actively working on a book right now, but I have a couple of ideas "on the back burner", which I hope will come to fruition at some point.
One is a memoir of my year living in a very small village in France in 2002. I purposely chose to live in a small village (about 1 1/2 hours from Paris), rather than in Paris or another big French city, because I knew that in Paris I would be treated like a tourist for the entire year, while in my small village in Burgundy, I was really able to become a valued part of the community. My year in France was truly life-changing, and I still measure my life as "before France" and "after France".
The second thing I may write at some point is a collection of some of the most interesting/unusual stories and anecdotes about my travels all over the world, such as the time I did a home exchange and ended up living in an actual French chateau, the time I walked into a random temple in Bhutan and ended up meeting and having a 10 minute conversation (in English) with the Queen mother (ie mother of current king and wife of former king), the time I slept as a guest in the yurt of a famous eagle hunter in western Mongolia (with him and his entire family), etc.
