I'm a life long east coaster glad to be back after three years in Michigan. On weekends I'm usually spending time with family and friends, walking all over the city, taking a hike, trying out a new restaurant or two, or taking the train to Boston or DC. I love swimming, even when everyone else thinks the water is too cold. Most recent vacations were to London, Nova Scotia, and San Diego- hoping to make Australia the next stop.

after a lot of school, I'm enjoying working and exploring NYC

planning vacations, cooking: both elaborate projects and quick after work meals

if you listen closely, I have the faint echo of an Australian accent

favorite books recently: Winter of the World, Trapeze, More than You Know, I am Forbidden, Wild, The Starboard Sea, The Invisible Ones

TV shows: Downton Abbey, The Goodwife, Glee, Top Gear, and Michigan football

books, my passports, walks in the woods, spicy food, swim suit, and a glass of wine

....where I'd go if I suddenly had 6 weeks vacation. I'm thinking New Zealand at the moment.
