What do you enjoy about downtown? I personally like all the boutiques because most of the stuff I wear is vintage. I shop here constantly to find little gems. I also enjoy drinking coffee and downtown has a number of great cafes. These cafes are just wonderful places just to meet up with friends or study.
Where do you like to explore? Galleries all around. There’s so many of them and every month there’s always a new opening or exhibition. I haven’t been able to see as much as I want to, but once I get the time, I will.
What is your typical biking ensemble? I like to wear anything that suits the weather and it has to especially be comfy. I don’t mind wearing dresses, like today, because the weather is beautiful.
