About me

About me
I am from Seattle originally, although I have been lucky to call New York City my home since 2016. I have always dreamed of living in NYC, and moved here after graduating from college for work.

I moved around a lot when I was younger due to my dad's job, and had the opportunity to study abroad in Paris during my junior year of college. Both of these occurrences contributed to my love of traveling today, and made me comfortable in vulnerable situations. I make traveling a priority in my life, and have been to 20 countries and counting.

Eating and trying new restaurants are two of my favorite hobbies, and I am constantly looking for new places to try in New York. I also enjoy frequenting and discovering speakeasies, art galleries, street art, museums, markets, events, and boutiques.

Why New York
There is no other city in the world that can rival New York City's endless supply of restaurants, bars, and more. There is also a certain magic to the city that allows you to constantly meet amazing, like-minded people and experience unique and amazing opportunities. The five boroughs (Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island) are all easily accessible, and each are extremely diverse. In New York, anything is truly possible, as long as you are open to it!

Where else can you find me online?
You can find me on Instagram (@atyourleisurenyc) and on my website.
