Traveling to a City Away
Everywhere I’ve been has had an influence on me. Airport connections don’t count.
I’ve visited 8 out of 217 countries. That is 3.69%.
Shows how little I know.

Music
Music is my most powerful influence. I can sit on an airplane for six hours with nothing but an iPod (iPhone?). Here are some of my favorites artists and songs:
- The 1975 – all of their songs.
- John Mayer – a majority of his songs
- Kanye West – Violent Crimes, Wouldn’t Leave, Real Friends, Runaway, Family Business
- No Rome – Do It Again
- Lorde – Ribs, A World Alone
- Porter Robinson – Sea of Voices
- Chance The Rapper – Summer Friends, Same Drugs, No Problems
Different artists influence me at different times. There’s not enough space to list all of them. So in that case, check my Spotify.
