About the Author

Hello there. How are you?

Things you may want to know:

• I lived in Thailand for eight months when I was twenty-one, which resulted in a multitude of rich experiences, documented in a thick journal punctuated by memorabilia, and a massive credit card debt that’s still looming five years later–mostly accumulated through bar tabs and cash advances for rent and food. Other countries that have stamped my passport include Laos, Cambodia (for a two-hour border run), Vietnam, the Philippines and Mexico.
• As a child, I lived for seven years in Japan: three years in Yokosuka, four in Okinawa. Because of this experience, I have a huge affinity for Japanese culture, design, language and anything cute. This may also have sparked my lingering desire to ramble and rove.
• I graduated magna cum laude from Rollins College in 2007, with a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology, and a minor in Writing. This achievement has made absolutely no impact on my job prospects at all.
• I’ve recently obtained a little position as Stardust’s Saturday baker, and I hope my modest works will add a bit of lustre and shine to the already legendary reputation of The ‘Dust.
• History fascinates me. I read a lot of books and watch a lot of documentaries. I especially enjoy food history and food lore, and have read a ridiculous amount of books relating to such.
• I like to listen to music, and am currently harassing the local indie music shop in letting me be their newest evening employee. It’s been three months since I turned in my application, and I’m beginning to lose my optimism.
• I’m rather moody, and can be especially irritable when hungry or sleepy.
• I’m also an only child, which may explain everything.
