I’m a social introvert with an aversion to big groups, loud noise, and public speaking. But I love people and I love writing about people. I was raised by loving hippies who introduced me to living on a farm, living on a blue school bus (true story), and hitchhiking the East coast at the ripe age of 3. I fall pretty far from the hippie tree, but my adventurous upbringing has provided the perfect segue to my life in Asheville and my love for this quirky little town.
