Sophie Dodd was born in NYC and raised in suburban Connecticut, where she dreamed of city lights and public transportation until she graduated high school a semester early and moved in with her best friend in the Big Apple. She spent her first semester of college abroad in London and began to blog and Instagram obsessively about it under the name @sickofsuburbia. Now a sophomore at Skidmore College, Sophie is spending her next semester in Paris, where she plans to improve her French while consuming her weight in baguettes and writing for Johnny Jet.
