I am lucky enough to spend my workdays surrounded by early 19th century wooden dwellings. Apart from that I read a lot, roam the riverside with my rescue dog companion wondering about the southern plants I don't yet recognise, cook vegan food and also grow it during the summer. I try to find time for at least one week-long hiking trip every year. I dream about living in the middle of a forest, learning to kayak, making wooden crafts and trying some pottery (especially throwing). I like life being rather quiet but meaningful, I hope I'm heading towards it.
