People I’d Like to Meet: The person reading this. Who are you, and why on Earth are you reading this?
Places: We’ve been lucky enough to travel a little. It’s my very favorite thing. I love Amsterdam and its outskirts. Florence, Italy is somewhere I’d like to hang out some more. Iguazu Falls, Argentina is breathtaking. Oleg’s house in Penza, Russia (with Alexander on guitar, of course) is a place I’ll always remember very fondly. Greece was amazing. My favorite place of all is Bellingham. That’s why I live here.
TV shows: Breaking Bad is my all-time favorite show. I also watch… Stranger Things, The Voice, America’s Got Talent, Dr. Phil, and Barry. Mostly I watch a little news and a lot of football.
