Are you more of a night or morning person?

Night. Duh.

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

My indecisiveness.

What are your feelings about eating meat?

Respect vegetarian/vegan diets, but I don’t know that it’s right for me.

I’m willing to give it a try. Meat kinda grosses me out sometimes.

What technology would you be better off without, why?

Ads, if they count. It’s hard to read some websites.

What are your two favorite things to wear?

Compression shorts and soccer cleats (summer). Beanie and coat (winter).

What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

Started eating better and exercising regularly. Lost some weight. Became more independent. Outgoing.

It’s still a work in progress, but I’ve come pretty far.

What could you do less of?

Overthinking. Assigning importance to people or things that don’t matter.

Share five things you’re good at.

Driving (you’d be surprised). Fixing computers. Geography. Cycling. Using public transportation.

Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?

Yukon River Camp in Alaska. I met all kinds of people up that way. Forest ranger, truckers, cyclists… so few people and so much country. No cell service, limited internet (I didn’t pay) and fuel, and so much untouched by humanity.

It’s above the arctic circle and the only road there–the Dalton Highway–is mostly unpaved. They dump dirt on it for traction, and it’s like driving through a bumpy construction site the entire way from Fairbanks. Most rental cars are banned.

If you were lost and needed help, you likely would get help from a trucker on their way to or from the top of the state. It would be advisable to have a satellite phone or CB radio, however.

Do you ever see wild animals?

I see deer, squirrels, groundhogs, beavers, mallards, geese, black bears, foxes, and chipmunks in Pennsylvania.

Out in Montana, I’ve seen bison, mountain goats, and grizzlies. In Alaska, I’ve seen muskoxen and moose.
