A: Spending any time in nature, skill sharing, learning with friends and reading as much as I can. I love spending time with animals and try to ride as often as possible. As a big music fan and musician I'm often going to shows and different art exhibitions.

A: I've moved around a lot throughout my life and love traveling. I love being on the road and going to see things off the map. I really love being in nature and camping, and enjoy a good hike or swim whenever I can get it. But I'm definitely learning how to be a good homemaker, and have become a pretty good cook over the years :)

A: My attachment to growing up "Midwest nice" is more than just valuing politeness for politeness sake - for me its about relishing in the little details of getting to know someone. taking care of each other out of genuine desire, rather than just obligation. And knowing how to slow down and not take everything so seriously all the time.

A: My resiliency and ability to adapt. My love of small talk and all the amazing conversations I've had with strangers.

A: Chosen family, my violin, time in nature, a good book, fresh challah bread.
