Meet the Author

Hi, I’m Cari!

I’m 23 years old and I’m from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

I recently graduated college where I studied English ~go figure~ so the past few months have been about transitioning from my fun college life to adulthood (insert thumbs down emoji here).

I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, which makes me a bit of a hypochondriac and also a bit of an insomniac. My coping strategies are to meditate, do yoga, and stress cry.

I hate breakfast, love coffee, prefer red wine over white, and could eat Mexican food every single day.

I coach cheerleading and I absolutely love it.

I am always late and I try so hard not to be. It’s a chronic issue genetically passed down from my mom. I’m working on it.

Sometimes I don’t trust people that don’t like black olives. I really don’t have much of an explanation for that, I just really, really like black olives and my brain cannot understand how someone wouldn’t feel the same way.

I am happiest when I’m outside. Taking a hike, being in the woods, looking at a starry night sky, all that cliché nature-y stuff soothes and relaxes me on a spiritual level.

Above all, it’s imperative to know that for my entire life I’ve loved stories. I love listening to them, reading them, telling them. I love the way they transcend time and place. I love their power to unite people. I love their ability to make you feel invested in something intangible, in people and places fictitious and real. And that is why I’m here, ready to share my stories of adventure and mishap with you.
