PERIODICAL PERSPECTIVES / INTERVIEWS

Tara Dill has been doing things her own way since 1997. After high-school, she took a gap year backpacking around Europe (before gap trips were as 'socially acceptable' in the US as they are now). Recently, she was studying abroad in Dublin and then decided to transfer and just stay there because it was where she felt happiest. If anyone actually does embody #YOLO, it's her.
