Live at the XK Intersection

Field Notes
Four ways I look at the world. Tap a circle.
EExperienceWhere you can find me
Yes, I'm a mermaid (see About). You'll always find me near water. Underwater is a whole other life, and it's my safe place.
CCreativityWhat inspires me
I'm always somewhere new, and my friends and family have stopped being surprised by where I turn up. You'll find me with a camera or on a walk, taking photos that challenge how I see the world and teach me to really look.
PPerspectiveWhat shifts my mindset
I've set a goal to meet at least one new person every week. Every person is a window onto how someone else sees the world, and you never know what you'll learn.
UUniverseCulture fun fact
In Paris I ate only steak tartare, escargot and frog legs for three days straight, every meal, to find the best one.
