About
My expat journey
Amsterdam, Netherlands
I'm currently taking a year off and spending it in Amsterdam. I live in the Plantage neighborhood, and have a blog about all the cool things there are to do in Amsterdam.
Charleston, SC, USA
Originally from Charleston, SC after high school I went to college at Ole Miss, then moved to Atlanta, London, and Washington, DC. I moved back to Charleston in January of 2010 and worked at a marketing firm, where I met my boyfriend, until December when he and I decided to come to Europe for holiday. We loved it in Amsterdam so much that we decided to stay.
