About Me

Short version: My favorite wine is Apothic Red blend.

Long short version: I first went abroad at sixteen to Widnes, England. That's when I fell in love with traveling (and a teenaged British boy, uh-oh). Spring 2010 I won a scholarship to study in London. I found the most satisfying experience was traveling alone in whatever place I found myself in .. be it Dublin, Stockholm or my Dutch friend's town in Holland that I can't spell. I'd like to expand my travels beyond the US and Western Europe.

My favorite people to host are awesome feminist ladies! When I'm not working and tidying my house, I'm cooking and drinking with my close friends.

At some point I want to get an MFA in poetry, which was my focus in undergrad other than Psychology. I'm thinking of going back to school for nursing.
