I Live In
Oak Park, IL (near Chicago)
I'd Like To Be Living In
here in the summer/fall with frequent weekend trips to Michigan, otherwise Denver, Costa Rica, Italy, Ireland, Portland, really ANYWHERE warm or even just not frigidly cold would do.
My Dream Job
something where I can make my own schedule and collaborate on exciting things with people I like.
If Money Were No Object, I Would
travel all over the place, buy out my parent's mortgages, invest in a small business owner, sponsor someone's education, invest time and energy in my community, go to lots of improv shows, plays, and concerts, build some wells for people without fresh water, cook more and go out to nice restaurants more, drink better wine, fix up my mom's place, decorate my condo more, get another dog, and adopt a couple kids
Greatest Risk Taken To Date
moving to Denver as a newlywed with no jobs and minimal money
Proudest Moment/Achievement
ugh i don't know....getting a job I really wanted?
Most Interesting Travel Experience
went to India for a month for a May Term, adventures ensued
Next Place I'll Visit
