ABOUT ME

Paul and I live together in Ithaca, NY.
Animals are my life, we have a mini menagerie at our house- a cat, two crested geckos, one leopard gecko and a tortoise. I also love to bake, I am currently learning pastry and wedding cakes.
Paul is very outdoorsy- we both love to camp and hike, but Paul more so than me. Paul's main interest is photography.
