I'm a writer, rainbow lover, wanna-be Scot, and infamously picky eater who belongs in Ravenclaw House, waits all year for Halloween, and who openly and comically sees the glass half-empty.
When I’m not blogging, you can usually find me taking pictures of the lovely things I see all around me - see some of my favorites here - and traveling. I've visited places in 16 amazing countries (including the U.S.A., plus the Canary Islands) so far and 21 states (plus Washington, D.C.) in my own.
When I’m home, you can find me listening to audiobooks, shopping and thrifting, collecting Pokemon cards, making friendship bracelets, cozy gaming, and watching British TV programmes.
I'm just another Millennial taking on life one cup of coffee at a time.
My blog Espresso Myself is a place for me to be me, for myself, and for everyone else. Write on!
Blog FAQ
When did you start writing?
I published my first blog post in 2014, which was crazy long ago, but it can be read here, if you’re interested. I first began writing way back in my emo middle school days, though.
What are your favorite places you’ve visited?
Scotland will always top my list - it’s my favorite place in the world, corner to corner. After that, in no particular order, it’s Stockholm, Auckland, Warsaw, Monaco, Oslo, Seville, Zurich, Toronto, Cornwall, and London internationally and Los Angeles, Nashville, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Miami, and Chicago in the U.S. You can read all about many of my adventures here.

A Nikon D3300 with a 18-55mm lens, or my iPhone or iPad.
