Fitness, travel, cooking and road tripping
I'm impassioned about my workout routine, typically training 5 or 6 days a week.
I love to travel and have been to many exciting points of interest, California, Texas, Florida, Montana, Ireland, Scotland, Nicaragua and many more, I always have a travel budget going because travel is the best gift we can give ourselves.
Love to cook and bake! My Mom was a food stylist, she made food for commercials and cookbooks: I learned that food should not only taste great, but it should look great too.
I am an easy going and fun person always looking for something fun to do or new adventures to try, but I'm also into yoga, reading the book I'm obsessed with or enjoying a day of peace, calm with no tv or media.
