I was born in Chicago, grew up in Houston and then went away for school at the University of Notre Dame (#GoIrish). I interned in California, studied abroad in Chile (and blogged about my adventures here!), and have been to all 50 states. Before graduation, I got a job offer with the opportunity to move to any city I wanted in the US… and I decided to move back to Texas. Was it the low cost of living and the lack of income tax that influenced my decision?  Or maybe the high rank Houston has on the top cities to live in if you’re single, broke and young? Or was it the freedom to go for a run outdoors every day of the year? Or enjoy quality tacos for every meal? Whatever the reason, I’m pretty stoked to call Houston my home.

I'm so proud to be a Houstonian and know that the city is full of never-ending adventures. I'm blogging to share my experience and expertise about Houston and inspire readers who are new to the city or want to explore more in their hometown.
