Hobbies and Interests

“Cycling through London’s traffic is my daily dose of adventure. When not plotting new routes, I’m likely hiking, camping under questionable British skies, getting lost in art galleries or museums, or exploring other countries off the beaten track. I love a spirited debate on geopolitics or philosophy, especially if fueled by good coffee, food, and better questions. Forever curious about cheap eats and new food adventures.”
