CURRENT MISSION

to play hooky from work and travel the world

ABOUT ME

i'm an editor living in chicago with a minor obsession with food and travel. i've turned one of those into a profession, which i use money from to afford the other. basically, i'm a professional fat ass. i love meeting new people and learning about them, especially about food (home cooking and traditions are really interesting to me, go figure). i love biking, hiking, walking, drinking, laughing, crafting, making art, listening to music, being happy, keeping busy, and coffee, coffee, coffee.

PHILOSOPHY

i'm too young to have personal philosophies.
