About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember. Daring to be happy everyday.

PHILOSOPHY

I always seek out new and different experiences. I am not one to sit and let life pass by.

Interests

Number one, I enjoy meeting new people from all around the world- sharing in their stories, laughter and life experiences. I also love to try all things new! Currently enjoying tennis,cycling and golfing. Also like downhill and waterkiing,jogging,spin classes and hot yoga at the gym, salsa dancing, and cooking. Photography with my Canon is an absolute joy- love to travel with my camera and take photos of the local people, culture and scenery.
Time on a quiet lake at the cottage is the best time spent of all.
