Personal Favorites

Why am I the ArcticTumbleweed?

It’s fairly simple. Desert is my favorite landscape, but frigid is my ideal temperature. Plus, like the tumbleweed, I'm a drifter. We go where the wind takes us, leaving parts of ourselves in the places we roam. We're just gentle, fragile things that make our own paths, love freedom and live to roll around out west.
