I’m Andie, a bookworm and javaholic living in Kansas City. In addition to working as a freelance editor, I’m a history and word nerd and a big fan of curiosity (and curiosities). I have a particular fondness and/or obsession with coffee (clearly), chocolate, dim sum, giant pandas, anything vintage, travel, mythology, anything French, and parentheses (obviously). In between exploring (or rather, wandering) and looking for Crumple-Horned Snorkacks, I can usually be found reading, running, or trying to keep my crazy cat, Luna, from destroying my apartment.

At some point during a school trip to Europe, I acquired a reputation for “wandering” (ie, getting lost). While slightly embarrassing at the time, this moniker is a point of pride today — in fact, wandering is one of my favorite things to do. It might not be especially productive or efficient (as it seems everything is supposed to be these days), but I find the best way to discover is to simply wander, and the best things are found when you get a bit lost. So this corner of the web is dedicated to all my wanderings — through my city and through travel, through coffee explorations, through books and thoughts. Welcome to Wanderland! Care to get a little lost with me? You never know what you’ll find.
