By day, I’m a mild-mannered word wrangler—reading, writing, and occasionally debating with philosophers (living and dead) over coffee. By night, I lace up for long runs, dive into pools like a caffeinated dolphin, and disappear into the woods for hikes that usually end with a campfire, a stargazing session, and a very judgmental raccoon.I believe Descartes was onto something with “I think, therefore I am,” but I’d humbly amend it to “I think, therefore I plan my next trip while simultaneously petting my dog and highlighting Kierkegaard.” Life’s too short. Live it while you have it.
