Fishing, Camping, Traveling, Reading
I love to be outdoors. I tend to work extremely hard and not take much time off. When I do on vacation I like to spend it with my family by camping, fishing, or just traveling to new places. I am also a reader, nothing is more enjoyable to me than sitting down and reading a book around a camp site and just relaxing. I love to travel and with my current job I get to do a lot of that , though it is for work I still find time to enjoy some of the local attractions if time allows.
