ABOUT ME

down to earth, open minded, quirky, adventurous

I'm a country person.. not the redneck kind but the woodsy type. I've lived in a small town most of my life and I spend a lot of time outside doing things like foraging, camping, canoeing, specimen collecting and wandering around in swamps. I do also enjoy society... in small doses haha. Cities can be fun! I like to explore new places, absorb the culture and meet interesting people and I can most certainly enjoy a good night out on the town!

My backyard on a summer night after a thunder storm, grass is still wet but the air is calm with the frogs singing and fireflies dancing
