Caelen is an avid reader of fiction, particularly science fiction with an optimistic outlook. Some favourites
are "Children of Time" by Adrian Tchaikovsky, the "Wayfarers" series by Becky Chambers, "The Daily Grind" by
Argus, and "Ra" by qntm. She enjoys board games, in particular Splendor, bouldering and long
