Where I grew up

My Bio

I grew up in Pt. Pleasant, NJ (yes, the Shore), escaped to school in Boston, and fell in love with travel when I went abroad to study in Australia. After nearly ten years of eating and drinking myself silly in NYC, I've finally reached the west coast. Things that make me happy: the ocean, books, mountains, bikes, friends, good beer, ice cream, unplanned adventures, football, live music.
