I think that the best way to understand a new place and culture is to immerse yourself and get to know the people that live there. You cannot get to know people by staying in a hotel where you are isolated from the community. Potsdam may be a small town but it's a great place to visit because of the welcoming community and hidden gems. We're very close the Canadian border which is always another great place to travel to. I'm traveling right now so I'm not there but my place is always open to travelers wherever I may be.

I don't limit myself to one type of music but I really enjoy books and movies that are or have the possibility of being real or coming true; especially those that make you rethink society and the norms set by our societies.
