I love to travel because I like to study the world, and experience unfamiliar situations.

I make a point of being embracing the whole culture! I was raised vegetarian but have learned to enjoy samples of all kinds of food from around the world, meat-based or not.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled in Europe by bicycle for one month in the early spring. Denmark in the snow, Germany in the rain, and Austria in the sun. All weather, all worth it!
