- What are you excited about reading, watching, or creating right now? With the fall around the corner, I’m super excited to get into the thrillers and mysteries this season!
- Tell us about your last memorable meal. What was it, where did you have it, and who were you with? I was pleasantly surprised to stumble into Bao (on Craig Street) recently with my sister (fun fact: she’s my twin) who was visiting me. We love Asian cuisine and spent a great afternoon catching up over Pork Soup Dumplings and stir-fried Udon.
- What’s at the top of your must-do list? Something that has been on my must-do list for a while is to go on a solo trip to a country that I haven’t been to before. I love traveling with friends and family but I’ve always wanted to experience solo traveling.
- What’s your favorite thing about Pittsburgh? I love the laid-back charm of Pittsburgh! Compared to the other cities I’ve visited in the US, Pittsburgh is truly such a friendly place to be in which makes everything feel so much safer. Getting around the city (although troublesome at times) is fairly easy and makes exploring the city a fun time!
