Hi, I am Kristin
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.
be a good listener, call me on my bullshit, laugh with me (and at me), and know my drink order.
people insist on reminding me that unicorns do not exist.
experiences. Meals out, drinks with friends, and travel (alone or with others). If it's not a tangible thing, chances are, I'm interested.
