Traveling, outdoors, animals, going out to eat

I enjoy spending my time outside with my dog when I am not working. I love traveling to tropical places and plan to do more of that in the future. I have always loved all types of animals and eventually want to work with helping them in some way. I love to eat so trying new restaurants is something I really enjoy.
