Get to Know a Patch Blogger: Stephanie Caprini
Over the next several weeks, Darien Patch will feature one of its bloggers.

Age: 26
Occupation: Spanish teacher and Arbonne Independent Consultant
Blogging for Darien Patch since: Spring, 2011
Blogs about: I blog about things that make you think, push you to learn, are fun little tidbits about life, make you laugh or just smile, maybe challenge an idea you've held, or are things you can visit or do in the neighboring areas, etc. Basically, it's about exploring, learning and enjoying life.
What made you decide to start blogging for Patch? I was invited to by Lauren, and I hold great respect for her, so I was honored.
What do you do when you're not blogging? What most people my age do: spend time with friends and family, catch up over coffee or dinner, go see movies either really early so they're cheap or really late when you find you're still up at 10 p.m. I love to cook, travel the country and Europe, watch movies, and see and explore what's around me.
What is your favorite thing about ? It's proximity to so many other things. It's prime placement to numerous malls, cute neighborhoods with great restaurants, train stations and highways to get into the city, and yet it's still a very comforting, welcoming, quiet and interesting town.
