looking left when tail dragging

I always land looking out to the left and I don't know exactly how this started. I prefer slipping to the left as well and I've noticed other pilots doing the same even in right hand circuits. It would (sort of) make sense that most circuits are left hand so a left slip would be an easier transition (as part of the final turn), and then you would already be looking out to the left, but I wonder if there may be some other reason?

If you tail drag, which side do you prefer to look out of and why do you think you do it that way?

Cheers
