Welcome!

Salut!

As a Rotary Youth Exchange student, I will be leaving Oneonta, NY, the place I was born and raised, to spend a year in Compiegne, France. Compiegne is a town of about 41,000 in the north of France about 40 minutes from Paris (by train). As many places in Europe, it's filled with lots of history and culture, including the capture of Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc), the location of the signing of two armistices (1918 - with Germany and 1940 - with France) and the ending stage for the Tour de France. For more information, click here.

I'll be leaving sometime in late August '08 and won't be back till June-July '09. Please feel free to visit, read and leave comments often as I recount my adventures. I think I may also be doing group emails every few months or so, so leave a comment with your email address if you would like to receive it. My email is kristenzking@yahoo.com - feel free to drop an email as well!.

Peace <3,

Kristen
