I am an introverted Office Worker, working for my state government, living the in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of the United States. I have 2 cats who are my world. I love cats and animals in general, and volunteer at a cats shelter on the weekend. I love the outdoors, hiking and biking. I love rowing, have done the sport in both high school and university, more casually these days. Currently, I am really into cycling, reading philosophy and learning a new language (Japanese). I was born in Germany (my father was in the US military, stationed there), and have lived in Namibia and Botswana.
