Nature lover, pawparent, surf, surfskating, and a love of travel
I absolutely love spending time in nature observing all forms of creation from land, plants, animals and sea. Taking my 3 dogs out on trails and watching them run free is something that brings true joy to life. I learned to surf during the pandemic and since then continue to find my way back to the coast to improve my skills. While I cannot surf daily like before, I like to skatesurf which is like surfing on land. Travel is one of the major enjoyments of life I do every year to experience different countries, culture, language,creation and the above mentioned activities.
