Hey there! My name is Eva- I am a chronic impulsive explorer with a mediocre memory and endless curiosity. I love to go on hikes, walk and explore different areas, read, go out, meet people, meet people's dog's, and learn about all the things I don't know! At the moment I am looking to travel internationally on a more consistent basis, which I have begun to do thanks to endless hours devoted to travel hacking nerd stuff.
I have a bachelor's degree in history which I put to use by researching the local history of every place I visit. That, and doing project-based research for small businesses, which I balance with the occasional waitressing gig. I grew up in the suburbs of rustbelt America, and was raised Jewish. I have a dog named Napoleon who is allergic to many things, but nevertheless has my heart (and my wallet) :)
