About Christine

Born in South Korea and raised in Texas, I’m a southern girl who always belonged in the city. I lived in New York City for 6 years and recently relocated back to Texas with my husband.

I started this blog back in 2010 shortly after graduating. I spent 18 years of my life playing soccer and was ready for a new adventure. At the time I spent a lot of time traveling for work and decided I wanted to start this site as an outlet for creativity and inspiration. I knew it would be hard at first, but what I didn’t know was that it would become such an incredible way for me to share my experiences and inspire others to take chances.

In 2012 I made my way to Chicago and fell in love with the city. I was going through a big life transition, and it was the first time where I put myself in a situation that was completely new and unknown. It was insanely scary, but one of the best decisions I ever made. I spent my time in the Windy City running around with girls that became my best friends. I love everything about that city and those years (except for the winter… I still loathe you).

Sure enough, life took another turn in the summer of 2014 when I was offered a job and moved to New York City. I love that the city is full of endless exploration and I can usually be found trying to check as many things off of my bucket list as possible. We just moved into a new apartment and are enjoying this next chapter of our lives. We travel often, love exploring new restaurants, and just enjoying the adventure that is living in this crazy city.
