Hi, I’m Georgie!

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, where I spent seven years doing humanitarian aid work, including in a large Syrian Refugee Camp called Zaatari. Four years ago, I moved back to Boston and pivoted out of humanitarian aid work into the private sector. Outside my day job as a project manager, I’m working on my first memoir.  

On Curious Georgie I write about love and relationships, travel and expat life, humanitarian aid, mental health, writing, and much more. But woven through each of my pieces is the most fundamental human question: How does one live?

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. (More than 5,000 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—both with my book and publishing new essays here.

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. ❤️

A few more fun facts:

  • I send new posts first to my free email list, where I sometimes share exclusive posts I don’t want to share with the whole wide world.

  • I also post my work on Medium, where tags and publications help my work find a wider audience.

  • I write about real life, and I’m careful with what I post. I share people’s photos or real names only with consent, and I often change names and identifying details when writing about real people.

  • My friend Kelsey Davenport designed the gorgeous logo!
