LEARNING. I am always up for learning new things.

TRAVEL. My fiance lives in Chicago, I live in Ohio, so until I move there later this year, I will be traveling to see him. In addition, most of my best friends are scattered all over the country. I hope to get to see some of them this year, and visit new places. Last year, I got to go to San Jose, San Francisco, Chicago (of course), New York City, and Atlanta. Most of those trips were gifts.
This thread is really interesting. Congrats on landing an agent, though! And good luck this year with your next novel And 185 books! How'd you do that? Tell me your secret

Military modelling. I know it does not sound like the hobby one would expect here, but I really enjoy building models. Also all the research involved, reading history books about those vehicles. Yep, that's my hobby.

I take part in Postcrossing: Postcrossing - The Postcard Exchange Project

It's an international postcard exchange where the website picks random users from other countries for you to send cards to and receive cards from. Granted you'll trade with lots of Finnish Postcrossers because that's where a large chunk of Postcrossing members live but keep doing it and you'll get quite a good collection of postcards from all over the world.
