ELEMENTS
hiking
ACTIVITY
Other than spending time with family and friends, I like to explore new places and travel the world. I also try to hike as often as I can, but since I spend most of my time in New York City, I am not able to go as often as I would like to.

lion
ANIMAL
Lion. The lion is a magnificent creature and is a symbol of strength and courage in many cultures. Lions live in close family groups called prides and work together to sustain their lifestyle. Gotta love it!

Dan Superman
SUPERHERO
Superman is awesome because he saves people both as himself and as Clark Kent. Although, to me, my older brother is the real-life Superman.

QUOTE
Those who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that all was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible.

MUSIC
Soul and R&B. Robin Thicke, Sam Smith, Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles, James Brown, Justin Timberlake, and John Legend. Outside of that, I really like Hunter Hayes, Emeli Sandé, and John Mayer. If it's classical, then Sarah Chang and Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg for violin; Lang Lang for piano.

green
COLOR
Green, for most things. But if we’re talking about style, I’d say black and white. It’s classic. No reason to mess with that.

CANDY
Sour Patch Kids. First they're sour. Then they're sweet.

I don't know if it's necessarily my favorite but I have spent hours, and lost track of time, on YouTube a few times. I really like Amazon; its name says it all.
