Aurélie Brown – Aurélie’s interest in travel can be directly traced to her early attempts to escape her native Picardie (France). Moving past her youthful mistakes – military barracks in The Netherlands, projects in suburban Paris, a goat farm in Provence – she eventually settled in a renovated factory in Chicago. From there, she divides her travels between the standard fare – a Motel 6 in Death Valley, New York’s Park Lane, and quite possibly the smallest hotel room in Tokyo – and the more eclectic – Spanish caves and Moorish castles, a caboose in Nebraska, a lean-to on an Australian island beach, and African huts complete with elephant horns. She’s not even done yet. Next up: a cabin on the Queen Mary II, a yurt in North Carolina, or maybe a sleeping car on the TransPacifico?
