Hi, I’m Emily.

I like to read. I dream in pictures. I love to cook and collect recipes obsessively.  I have an amazing capacity for memorizing meaningless information.

I love to travel. I’ve wandered around the streets of Paris, celebrated well into the night at a wedding in Romania, seen the sunset over the Aegean, worshiped with the Patriarch in Constantinople, danced around a fire in Africa, and looked into the face of AIDs. I did my anthropology field work in northern Quebec and I once spent several hours stranded in a Hungarian airport. Most recently my brother and I spent a month volunteering in, and falling in love with, Tanzania.

In October 2010 I visited Austin, Texas, and got myself all messed up. After a year of planning, praying and saving, I spread my wings and take that leap of faith into a life on my own, and moved to Austin in March 2012. New England country girl meets Texas city living. This should be interesting.
