Cristina Shipe
Cristina is based in Philly, but spends most of her time daydreaming of her years living in Madrid. She enjoys going out to eat and thinking about where she’s going to go out to eat next. Her biggest fear is finding herself in a conversation where she has to explain to a Philadelphian that the best cheesesteak she ever had was in Atlantic City.
