Iโm all about exploring cities, hiking trails, and global travel to meet new people and enjoy their cuisine and culture. Campingโs an adventure, cookingโs rewarding, and gardening? I fast-track plants to the afterlifeโbut I keep trying.
Why love the sky
When the ground is so near
Because itโs so far
And Iโm stuck right here
