Writer, musician, worldbuilder, nature enthusiast, wearer of Victorian attire, ancient/medieval history and civilizations are my thing! I have lots more oddly specific interests but I'm terrible at keeping a long story short. Let's go for a hike and talk literature/arts/fantasy/philosophy over some unique foreign cuisine!

I work at my local nature preserve/wildlife park, and I take lots of wildlife photos on the job!
I want to combine my love for music, storytelling, nature, world cultures, and worldbuilding all into one somehow. Not sure just how yet...
Writing stories and poetry, reading fantasy (especially Tolkien) and history (ancient-medieval or local history) worldbuilding for my own fantasy stories/music, singing/playing/composing music, learning about different cultures and their folklore and music traditions, hiking, foraging, birdwatching, wildlife photography, Victorian/Edwardian attire, and a BUNCH more.
