Hiking, Fitness, Pets, Travel

I like to stay healthy and active by hiking outdoors during the warmer seasons. I am a firm believer in exercise and like to keep up with my fitness goals at least two days a week. I love animals and interacting in a group setting with my own pets such as a dog park or taking them with me on a hike. I also love to travel and experience new places for recreation and relaxation.
