CURRENT MISSION

Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat

ABOUT ME

Just moved to Minneapolis! Looking to meet new friends who can show me around town. Can also host out-of-towners but we may need to find ourselves a better tour guide since I'm new to the area :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is a journey. You should learn the terrain, pick a direction, find some good traveling companions, and enjoy the trip, because there may be nothing at the end of the road." ~Jonathan Haidt, The Happiness Hypothesis
