To make traveling more accessible fir everyone. Plus it's cool making connections with people from all over the world. As a writer, I love listening to stories from other travelers and locals.

Music: Tbh, I've gotten lazy so the Spotify algo primarily dictates what I listen to these days -- Polo & Pan, Lijadu Sisters, MIA. But once I was really into the Pixies, Pavement, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Movies: Everything Everywhere All at Once, Arrival, and yes, Barbie. Books: Cloudcuckooland, They Ride Upon Sticks, The Eyes and the Impossible. These are all so excellent, I hope you will read and love them, too. :)
