about perryn


"Karen?" "Sarah?" "Can you spell it?" That's the response I usually get when introducing myself to people in person. But here, it's easy.

I'm Perryn, and I've been making my home in New York City since 2008. I moved here just after graduating from Auburn University (technically, I moved here just before graduating) and have continued my efforts at making this big city feel like home ever since. I grew up in Alabama, and came here by way of an interior design job at a large architecture firm. I can tell, though, the Big Apple and I are settling in nicely together.

I try to document my adventures—both ups and downs—here, but sometimes I get waylaid by life, which is just how I want it. What's the fun of having a blog if you're so busy writing about life that you miss out on the real adventures?
