Several times a week I go down a rabbit hole I did not plan on.
Some of them last twenty minutes. A few have lasted years. This is the part of me that likes to chill.
Watching
I like long stories with people making decisions they can’t take back.
I also have a weakness for beautiful television, complicated women, supernatural nonsense and shows that somehow convince me that watching eight seasons in a row is a reasonable use of my time. You’d enjoy these with a bag of popcorn.
Reading
While I don’t claim to be an avid book reader just to be impressive, these were eye-openers.
Things I keep thinking about
I don’t necessarily want to become an expert in all of these things. I just love learning about stuff.
AI & Technology
What happens to work when machines become genuinely capable?
Psychology
Why do people do the things they do?
Economics
How money, markets and countries actually move.
Business
How companies are built, how they make money and why some survive while others don’t.
The Universe
Because apparently understanding marketing wasn’t enough.
Politics
Mostly because pretending politics doesn’t affect your life is a luxury.
Spaces
I have no formal training in architecture or interior design. This has not stopped me from having opinions.
I rearrange rooms constantly. I draw floor plans for houses I don’t own. I’ll spend an unreasonable amount of time thinking about where a window should go, whether a living room is actually functional, or why someone decided that particular room needed to be that shape.
I like spaces that feel lived in, not just decorated. A beautiful room that makes everyday life inconvenient is not a beautiful room to me.
I’m particularly interested in homes, hospitality, co-working spaces and places built around community. I like thinking about how people actually use a space: where they sit, where they work, where they naturally gather, where they get some privacy and what makes them want to stay.
One day I want to build some of these ideas rather than just draw them in my planner.
Until then, I’ll keep rearranging furniture.
Travel
I want to see as much of the world as one lifetime allows. Ideally, all of it. I want to wake up somewhere completely unfamiliar every other month and explore beautiful places properly.
The long-term goal is simple: see the world and share my experience of it with the world too.
There are places worth crossing a continent for and I intend to enjoy the inconvenience.
