I am from NYC, the biggest apple, and am attempting this professional nomad life. I am currently exploring/traveling and really like getting to know new places with people who live there (only like hotels for the robes and dark chocolate). I am a ginger, a Pisces (if that means anything to you), Right brain (if that means anything to you), I make delicious smoothies, love/need/live to dance and may or may not be a descendant of Chuck Norris.

I worked in magazines and fashion PR in NYC, but now I am running around the planet trying all of the sauces people put on their carbs.

And like Queen, I always want to ride my bicycle (currently don't own one, but the passion is there)

I am always sharing recipes on my food instagram:
