Travel junkie, originally from the Midwestern region of the US. I am ivy educated without being stuck up. I live in Brooklyn but I love parts of Manhattan as well. I work in fashion but I don't care much for material possessions. I am a closet science nerd and newbie yoga instructor. I am a wonderful mix of contradictions (like everyone else). I wander the earth like Caine. Talk to me about American politics at your own risk :)

Favorite cities so far:
Habana, CB
Lucerne, SW
Scicli, IT
New Orleans, US
San Pedro, BZ
Paris (le Marais), FR
Rome, IT
Matera, IT
Ostuni, IT

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rented a giant Volvo in Southern Italy for 10 days, there were zero casualties. I have since added learning how to drive manual transmission to my goals for next year, I want to rent a teeny tiny Fiat next time.
