Hi, I’m Elizabeth! I live in NYC with my cat (Phoebe), my dog (Wendy), and my partner (Tucker).

I’m originally from Atlanta and have also lived in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. I moved to New York City in 2016 for graduate school where I researched on the impact movement has on the social and emotional wellbeing of adolescent refugee girls. I work as a nonprofit consultant, an emergency room advocate, a doula, and a yoga teacher.

I’m a traveler, writer, dweller of coffee shops and mountain tops, feminist, yogi, former ballerina, occasional musician and avid thrifter. I’ve been to 27 countries, and though my traveling has slowed recently, I hope to go to 27 more.

I’ve had this blog since 2009 and have used it for random thoughts, poems, stories, travel posts, lists, and other musings. I hope you find something here that speaks to you.

For more of me, I’m on Instagram and Twitter, and you can find some of my work at Waxing and Waning, Every Day Fiction,  Rusted Radishes, Pour Vida, and I write regularly for Release the Women.
