Hi.

I’m Victoria, and this site mostly has my sewing projects and science writing, with a sprinkling of older poetry & etc.

I’m a prairie kid, parent of two, celiac, and like lane swimming. I love to research. I did my undergrad in physics & English with a math minor. I’m now doing a Master’s in economics.

A note about the blog title: in math and physics, the prefix eigen means one's own. It comes from the german, but mostly I always liked thinking about a particle's eigenvalues, and thought I might apply the same thought to my excursions.

So when I was 19 I went to Europe and BOY to I ever have some stories from that time. The How Not to Travel podcast asked me to share one of them. Listen to it below. (It has a little bit about getting molested and robbed, but I swear it's a fun/funny travel story nevertheless!)
