I like going on long hikes, reading good fiction, writing essays and poetry, knitting and sewing, and sitting in cafés.

I've just moved from Brooklyn to Beijing to Paris to study history and work as a freelance arts writer, and am still feeling things out. Please reach out if you'd like to see a film together, or visit a cafe/bookstore! I've shared some lovely moments with people from this site.
