Sleeping Around 2021-2022

Another year, another blog post recapping where I've been sleeping, or, as I look at it, a snapshot of my life. This year's data completes my 14th year of knowing where I slept every night, all of which can be seen at any time by clicking "Sleeping Around" in the header. (If you want access to just this year's data, it can be found here.)

Initial impressions: it's about what I expected. I'm somewhat surprised by the low prevalence of housesitting. And, of course, I always like having that "At Home" percentage lower (which, in my mind, equates to out doing more fun stuff.) I really like seeing the full 15% in the International Travel slice. But overall, very little in the way of surprises. Let's take a closer look.

# of housesitting houses	4	One new client
# of states (other than WA)	8	OR, IL, ME, MA, NY, CT, CA, CO*
# of countries (other than US)	3	Spain, Senegal, The Gambia
Longest stretch away from home	56
# in car (/airplane/train)	6	Only 4 nights in a car (all the cruze), with the other 2 on planes
# on boat	1	I really like this category and hope to see it higher next year
# in hotel/hostel	57	Includes 2 nights at Bates, but since I had to pay to sleep in the dorms, it counts. Also to note, about half were in dormitories (i.e. non-private rooms)

I say it every year, but doing this data recap helps me understand my year that was. Armed with that better understanding, I'm currently thinking about what the next year might hold. I've got hopes, ideas, and goals. If any of them come to fruition, I'm sure you'll hear about them here.

I know that you're more prone to visiting new places/countries, but now that we've moved to Andalusia you're more than welcome to return!
We were just talking about you the other day reminding Orión in front of the old Jerez fort about you juggling oranges there in our walk around town. He remembered you :-)

Hey! Two random questions:
1. Do you happen to keep your master data in any kind of "master" flat file like a csv or spreadsheet?
2. Either way (I can collate if needed), do you have any problem if I used your data for my cadets to import and run stats on for practice? (always trying to find unique/fun data for them to play with and practice modelling)
