enjoy a more local experience, something you can't get by staying with familiar friends or at a hotel. When I am on hiking trips, it is nice to take a break from the tent and hang out with new people.

I like all kinds of music from Aretha Franklin to Nahko, Snatam Kaur etc my list could go on and on. I always welcome new recommendations for music and books. Sometimes I will spend up to 4 or 5 hours reading and just break for coffee haha
