CURRENT MISSION

Currently trying to save up vacation time so I can go places!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Ohio, and in my early life, moved around a lot. Eventually my family settled in Tennessee, where they are now. I graduated with a degree in Economics from University of Chicago and moved to New York after graduation for work. Though I can't currently host anyone (my apartment is really small - typical NY apartment), I'd love to show you around or give you tips on where to go - especially if you're looking for restaurant/bar recommendations ;)
