Becoming Allie

Hi! I'm Allie.

I’m a sensitive soul, a hopeless romantic, a collector of memories, and a chronic over-thinker. An introvert, a learner, a seeker. I’ve spent most of my years on the west coast of the USA. Last year, I changed up my life. I left my job, my home, and my relationship in search of the passion for life that I lost somewhere along the way. I moved to Buenos Aires and hoped to stay, but the universe had other plans. In April, I turned 30. Cheers to manifesting joy, love, and magic in the next decade!

I Like...

Love stories. Linguistics. Scuba-diving. Therapy appointments. Cheese. Rooting for the underdog. Fruity cocktails. Self-awareness. Sparkling water. Tidy spaces. The benefit of the doubt. Warm weather. Birth photography. Emotional intelligence. Second-language learning. Trashy television. Living room dance parties. Morning coffee. Nostalgic smells and songs. Colorful obscenities. Holiday traditions. Big waves. Women supporting women. Backless dresses. Careful grammar. Holding infants.

I Dislike...

Intolerance. Wearing tight pants. Guns. Unrealistic beauty standards. Eating meat. Condescension. Violent movies. Chronic anxiety. Injustice. Reading manuals. Small talk at social events. Arrogance. Phone calls with strangers. Destructive conflict. Peeling fruit. Systemic racism.
