I don't have a place that I call home at the moment because there's no point. I mean, I'm a traveling circus for a while. It's weird. Like, if I wanted to go home, there's nowhere to go. I just go to a hotel. But I've kind of gotten used to it.
I love bikes. I used to own one, but I fell off it when I was younger and that was the end of my bike riding days until now.
