Jim Doherty, born in Chicago, currently studying at Fordham University in NYC. Mild mannered student by day, glorified telemarketer at night and a self-confessed 'geography nerd'. Ask him any world capital and 9 times out of 10 he'll know it. It's almost creepy. Jim's got a wide eye for travel and especially loves Paris because, as an Aussie once told him, "it's so romantic I want to puke".
