Hello! My name is Taylor, and I’m a 27-year-old young professional working in government contracting. While I’ve settled in DC to start my career, I like to be on the move. I lived in the gorgeous Bologna, Italy for both years of my master’s in international relations; worked at a hostel in Genova, Italy for a few months; and have travelled to 19 countries (so far!). I also enjoy yoga, running, reading, sudoku, and baking.
