ABOUT ME My nickname is "Dora the Explorer"...I have loved maps and travel since I was 6. I used to draw routes in crayon to visit when I grew up. I have lots to still explore, and that child perhaps is not all grown up-yet. I've lived in Chile, Peru and a short time in Guatemala. I've worked in 5 states in the US and visited 48. I've volunteered with the Peace Corps twice and am involved locally with several volunteer organizations and 4 clubs. I love; my family, rocks, hiking, beachcombing, resale shops, music, dogs, cats, coffee and reading...
