About me

I can spend hours talking about books, documentaries, psychology, history, or why cities are designed the way they are. I love jazz, wandering around new places without a strict plan, and finding little local gems. I care about equality, kindness, and people who aren’t afraid to be themselves. If you’re curious about the world too, we’ll probably get along.
