I enjoy hiking.  I used to gamble but don't anymore.   I'm fluent in Spanish. I like shoe shopping.   I go hiking.  I would like to go hiking more often. I don't have the survival skills to live in the wilderness. I watch TV.
I own a car.  My parents live within driving distance.   I enjoy winter sports, especially ice skating and skiing. I only speak English I took French class in high school.  I like shoe shopping. I own 30 pairs of shoes. I just bought 5 new pairs of shoes. I would like to design my own shoes. I read books. I live in a city. I love city lives. I enjoy shops, bars, and restaurants. I have been thinking of starting meditation.
After we talked last time, I decided I really should make more time for hiking, so I'm planning a weekend trip next month to a national park with beautiful hiking trails.  That's awesome! You'll love it! Which one are you going to? I am going to Zions. I hear it's spectacular!! Do you get out in nature much living n the city? Outdoors is a great place to meditate. It really is so nice to be out there. I'm torn between city life and nature, both are just so fun and interesting. I wish I got out more but I love the city. Exploring the city is a different way to explore nature! It's kind of a weird ecosystem on it's own. Are you still thinking of learning to meditate? Will you take a class in the city? I think I'm going to learn on my own. I'm not interested in the pop culture version That's a great idea. It has become rather commodified hasn't it. Do you need any book recommendations? I know some meditation books. Or is that too pop culture too. I don't have any recommendations, but I don't think it's too commercial. Try to find one that seems organic and explore whatever works for you That is very true. Have you been skiing this season? I haven't been able to get out of the city unfortunately. What about you? I haven't been skiing but I have been on a few snow hikes. How far away from a place you can ski are you? Far enough that I can't just go for a day or so. It's okay though, that makes it extra special for me
