Hi, I am Kristin

I am addicted to Haribo gummy bears.

I am part of Yuujou because...

While I was busy experiencing early-onset mid-life crisis over the past fifteen years, I was also taking myself way too seriously.
I did not leave enough space for travel, for random connections, and for collecting experiences that make up a life.

I spent my twenties as a public interest lawyer. Then a couple years with twelve year-olds teaching them math (it was during this time my love of craft-cocktails really picked up).

By my early thirties it was time for a re-set. I set my sights on what I have always loved-- food, writing, and photography. Now I'm a freelance food stylist (google it) and writer. And I've never been happier.

Except.

I'm a nomad at heart. I love living on the edge of uncertainty. And at the end of the day, despite some examples to the contrary, I do believe humans are pretty great. And that we're all, ultimately, looking for the same things from life: acceptance and joy.

And that seems to be what this journey is all about.

I expect a friend to...

be a good listener, call me on my bullshit, laugh with me (and at me), and know my drink order.

I can't stand it when...

people insist on reminding me that unicorns do not exist.

I spend an unreasonable amount of money on...

experiences. Meals out, drinks with friends, and travel (alone or with others). If it's not a tangible thing, chances are, I'm interested.

These are my creative super powers!
