Who is Audrey as an actual person  

Coffee has been a big part of my life— not to sound like Lorelei Gilmore. It has been my most consistent job since I was 15. Whether at home at my family’s cafe or at school in Harrisonburg, coffee shops are where I’ve found some of my best friends, the coolest music, and an outlet for creativity.

 

A cafe's most perfect activity, reading, has been one of my safe spaces since I looked like that little girl on the right. From classics to philosophy to modern dystopian, I am in love with the connections that can be made from the author to the reader through words. 

Through study abroad I got the travel bug... bad. Visiting all over the UK, I found myself falling in love with each new town I saw, and each new culture within it.

What I've been loving lately 

Outside of the classroom I have a never ending supply to media and art that I like to consume. Goodreads, Letterboxd and my coffee account are normally the outlet for my discussion of obsessions, but here are some things I have been into recently. 

Book 

"And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie

I read "The God of the Woods," LOVED IT, and was inspired to read more mystery books. I thought where better to began than the Queen herself? 

Movie

"Obsession"

I watched this movie with all of my coworkers and then came back to an empty house... yeah I couldn't sleep at all but I cannot stop thinking about how amazing this movie was. 

Music 

"Old Friends " by Pinegrove

Weird obsession with "Old Friends" by Pinegrove recently. It is so sad oh my gosh buuut there is just something about it... 

Caffineated beverage 

Iced ceremonial matcha with honey and 1/2 pump of coconut 
Yes, the 1/2 pump makes all the difference
