About Me

Reading, writing and research are some of my favorite things to do. When not pursuing those avenues I enjoy swimming, bike riding, being with friends, and exploring various cities.

Traveling is one of my other hobbies -- I've managed to visit 25 countries in Europe, South America, Asia, Caribbean, and Central America. There is so much to see!
