Enjoy family. Travel enthusiast. Avid cyclist, swimmer, hiker.
I enjoy spending time with my siblings, mom, children and grandchildren. I feel blessed to have such a close family whom I also consider my best friends.
I love to travel and experience different cultures, languages and environments especially in the places that are not tourist havens. I was able to cycle through Tuscany with a few family members which was an epic trip. Covid cut travel short but I plan to cycle through British Columbia, Washington and Idaho this Fall.
I've participated in the sport of Triathlon for several years and was able to swim from Alcatraz three separate occasions.
Hiking and backpacking also bring me much contentment just being in nature, alone or with friends.
A couple of years ago I bought a paddleboard and began practicing yoga on the water. It's a great combination of two enjoyable activities for me.
