About Amy C
When not studying for an English and Journalism degree at Boston University or pursuing a career as a writer, Amy soaks up the city, literally dancing her way through Boston with her Hip-hop troupe and exploring the hidden gems of Boston. She moved from Northern California, just outside of San Francisco, for college, and loves every bit of Boston's charm and character, except perhaps the frigid winters. She loves the beach, fall foliage, learning about food and wine, and funny friends. Amy hopes to continue to expand her traveling horizons, savoring the culinary creations and cultures from around the world. Still, she suspects her favorite cities will always be colorful Boston and San Francisco.
