Interests
In my free time, I love learning, reading, camping and walking in the trees. I especially enjoy hiking, snowshoeing and XC skiing in my local mountains. I find joy in those occasional wildlife sightings: eagles, hawks, turkey and bears in the mountains; otters, whales and sea lions in the ocean. Oh yeah, and crocs, elephants and hippos in Zambia!!
