About Lo

When my third grade teacher told me I should be a writer, I laughed because that was so basic. After all, my best friend was aspiring to be a princess. Lo and behold, 20 years later, here I am, biting my tongue.

A Chicago native, a Denverite by choice, an accidental Texan, and now in Kansas City, I've made it my mission to see as much of the world as possible because life is short, but sweet for certain. Thanks for following the (mis)adventures.
