I little bit about me!

Hi! My name is Emilia McCourtney. Born and raised in NYC and currently living in Brooklyn with my husband (Keith, the other half of this blog) and our two dogs. My birthday is September 28th and I’m the epitome of a Libra and also somewhat into astrology. My parents are from Moscow, and I like to say that I speak Russian fluently, but my mother would probably disagree. Aside from the people in my life, I cannot live without music, good coffee, chocolate, red wine and the occasional martini (with a twist, please!)

I used to be a corporate manager until I got my dream job in Brooklyn, felt restless, decided I needed a complete life-reboot and jumped at the first idea I had: to become a writer and photographer. So… I bought a camera! I sold our stuff! My husband cheered me on and helped me carry the luggage! At the time, he was a work-at-home graphic designer for a big company, so for a few years we traveled like this, with two dogs, laptops and enough camera gear to make your average TSA agent break into a sweat.
