Winter
I'm not a winter person. Actually, I really dislike snow. But today, the German winter is at the small portion of the Venn diagram, where the sun is warm enough, the snow is packed tightly enough, and the wind is calm enough, where even I can appreciate the winter landscape.

Don't run from something. Run toward something. I have moved 12 times since I moved out of my dad's house at age 15. I have lived in four countries in the past six years, one of them twice. For all of my life, I have chased the next adventure, the next better thing.
