This is an archive of things found, things enjoyed and things shared. I launched double takes in 2007 and heck, it's been kickin' ever since.

As for me, I'm a Chicago native and recent college graduate who favors the nomadic lifestyle over settling down. It's that darn wanderlust that has me finding it hard to stay put for more than a hot minute.

Because I've been told "traveler" doesn't count as a job title, I'm a magazine and web writer by day (if you care to know or have a job to offer) and currently moonlight as a bartender in the business of wine. I prefer my popcorn with m+ms, still get scared of the dark, and believe any bad mood can be cured with an episode of America's Funniest Home Videos and decent carry-out.

I'd love to hear from you! If you feel the urge to say hello or have a question about something (anything, really!) that's fine too. Send me an e-mail at laurenkilbergblog{at}gmail{dot}com and I'll look forward to it!

Thanks for stopping by, seriously!
Lauren Kilberg
