I love mornings, delicious memoirs, strong coffee, and flowers that are so brightly colored it’s almost embarrassing. And I’m so glad you stopped by.

Curious Georgie is a blog about living as boldly as possible. About being alive. About the small and big things that save us: real people, real community, and telling the truth about our real lives.

I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, went to college in Boston, and then moved overseas to Amman, Jordan. I spent seven years doing humanitarian aid work there, including Zaatari Camp for Syrian Refugees in northern Jordan.

Four years ago, I moved back to Boston and continued doing humanitarian aid work, including conflict analysis and project management. Later I pivoted to the private sector. And I kept writing. Outside my day job as a project manager, I’m working on my first memoir.  

Here on Curious Georgie I write about love and relationships, travel and expat life, mental health, and much more. I also cover humanitarian aid: the good, the bad and the ugly.

Woven through my essays you’ll find that fundamental, most basic human question: How does one live?

Also:

What am I doing here? Who even am I? Have I done enough today? What should I do tomorrow?

Since I launched this blog in 2022, I have been blown away by the positive responses and the growing community of readers that has developed around it. Nearly 6,000 people and/or robots have visited.

When I hear from readers that a post resonated or gave them that electric feeling of “OMG same,” I’m energized to keep going with both my memoir and essay writing.

Whether you just found me or you’ve been following along for years, I’m so glad you’re here!

THANK YOU for stopping by. Feel free to drop me a note. ❤️
