Krissi: A story of 180°

I'm a traveler of places & an adventurer of emotions. I converse with the world through social media & communicate with humankind through open-mindedness. I advocate for what I believe is right & embrace possibitarianism. I'm an optimistic realist & I learn more about myself the more I understand about others. I'm a giver of endless second chances & the wearer of a shirt-sleeve heart. I'm a reveler in chaos & I love my own idealistic, unwavering hopefulness that one day I'll figure myself out.

In my life I've been 180° and back again & I'm ever-aware of what I have yet to learn...

The chefs will definitely yell ‘Arigatogozaimashita’ when you leave. That's 5 different Japanese spots! Treat yourself to some uni. You'll unlock Level 3 once you've visited 5 new places!

Treat Yo Self!

Hot stone massages. Treat yo self. Algae baths. Treat yo self. Carrot mulch scrubs. Treat yo self. Go ahead, splurge on the caviar wrap! And don’t forget to snag a tub of that macadamia nut cream on your way out. #treatyoself Jealous! You’ll unlock Level 2 once you’ve been to 5 DIFFERENT spas.

Mall Rat

Sharper Image. Gap. That guy selling bedazzled iPhone cases from a kiosk. It’s always nice to see some familiar faces.

Check in to 5 more to unlock Level 3. Happy strap-hanging!

4sqDay 2012
