Q: What does being booze-free mean to you?
A: 11 months -- my actual answer is quite long, as I tend to be more of a story-teller than a user of short words like adjective. Since I finally listened to myself, my body, to remove all things that do not bring me joy, and inhibit me reaching my full potential, I feel more grounded, more clear minded, more sincere...seriously, I am a daydreamer, don't get me wrong, but I feel truly down to earth, all while continuing to grow my perspective higher, greater, and better.
Q: What do you love most about DC?
A: I love how purposeful our culture, landscape, and personality as a city is.

Best booze-free date idea
I love to go on undiscovered adventures (either for one or both of us). I find we live in a city of untapped entertainment, and fun. Being a local, my favorite date is to venture into non-standard neighborhoods, take my partner in crime to a spot that speaks to something I know they love, open their eyes to the insane cool factor of the DMV, and talk about EVERYTHING!
Top museum or art gallery pick Hirshhorn baby! But also all things art, I'm an artist!
Most quintessential DC pastime

Fave fitness option I am super into fitness, religious Barry's athlete, known to be a Flywheel athlete too!
Fave wellness/woo/substance-free community or thing to do You can always find me at hip openings, trendy dive and drink establishments, fashion and art events, VIP everything, or just literally chilling at my house (or yours!). I don't find lack of greater entertainment when surrounded by those who aren't substance-free -- that can also be kind of entertaining...especially to observe!
