- I enjoy being engaged in social activities and travel. Travel is one of my favorite activities, getting to experience different cultures and local activities. One of my favorite experiences was in Belize, doing a river cruise with the monkeys in the trees. We also had the opportunity to hike in the mountains, visit with local artists, and enjoy how they are such craft-driven individuals
