Interests:
Spending time with family and friends is #1 for me. I'm a huge animal lover. I travel too much to own a dog but I'm lucky to have a hilarious cat who thinks she's a dog. My partner and I love traveling - 46 states and 29 countries so far for me. Being in the great outdoors feeds my soul - especially hiking and kayaking. I'm a big-time "foodie" -- who can't cook. Love exploring restaurants of all sorts. Enjoy imbibing in microbrews and wine. Keeping a sense of humor is critical. Life is good.
