I love animals. One of my ultimate dreams is to open up an animal sanctuary. I’ve had dogs and guinea pigs growing up and I used to be a pet sitter. Now I am into cats (Binxy, RIP 2023) and Shadow (adopted April 2024).

I’m not much of a collector, but I do have an enormous amount of digital and physical photos. I also like to keep nostalgic drawings and journals from childhood as well as souvenirs and ticket stubs. I also buy some merch.

I was super into cooking when I went vegan/vegetarian in 2011. I obsessively made new recipes and meal prepped until about 2014. I’d love to get back into it because it’s a healthy, creative hobby to have!

It can be hard for me to let loose, but once I do, I go hard. Whether it’s at the Masquerade or the Clermont Lounge, I’m down for a good time. I also love Zumba and I’m interested in hip-hop and feminine dance classes.

I love a clean, minimalistic home. I wash my sheets weekly, as you’re supposed to, lol. I respect people who enjoy feng shui One of my goals is to grow a garden 🙂

I’m into blogging, and I have done copy & content creation for work. I’m a big fan of learning, reading articles, podcasts, writing, comedy, and poetry.

I appreciate creativity & planning even if it’s just for fun. I’m more into documenting and historian-esque things as a type-A personality.

Music has been a big part of my life since childhood, and it’s gotten me through some tough times. I’m always listening to music, discovering new artists, and going to concerts/festivals.

I would say I’m nerd-adjacent. I like some board games and video games, whether party or strategy games. I also appreciate a good arcade.

I absolutely love people watching, whether it’s at a coffee shop or a bar. I also just like simple things like bird watching.

A simple walk in the city or hike in the woods is underrated. I also love a beach trip to Florida and enjoy swimming.

Fun fact: I used to be a photographer. I picked it up as a hobby in high school and studied it in college.

I feel like “people” is its own category for a hobby. Meeting new people and doing new things is fun– I’m always up for an adventure.

When I have the coins, I’m down for travel. I am not the type to want to be constantly on the road, but I like a trip here and there. I prefer trips to places with culture like Europe.

Whether it’s museums or theatre, I am a patron of the arts. I appreciate musicals, plays, art galleries, and media installations.

I like Mexican food too much to be a health nut, but I do stick to a vegetarian diet and I am a fan of yoga, meditation and mindfulness.
