Sunsets on the Coast of Southern United States have a special place in my heart. They always remind me of home and the things I cherish about living here.

Sometimes I like to go to my local park and feed the ducks and point at the ones I think are most beautiful or unique. My husband calls them his duck army.

One of my favorite places in North Carolina. Lake Lure is also where the film Dirty Dancing was filmed!! Perfect place to be at peace and one with nature.

The most exciting part of the spring season, new growth! This is in my garden, but I love seeing the new leaves everywhere, the mountains regaining color.

I enjoy our Tennessee State Parks. There are so many with diverse terrains. Henry Horton State Park is where I discovered these mushrooms along the trail.

This photo was taken on March 13, 2020. It was mid-term week but the weather was pretty. It was also the last time I stepped on campus because of Covid-19.

I love poetry and writing in general. I also love art, so I get to put both together and show who I am. I write everyday and I paint/draw/create everyday.

A beautiful hike along the rugged coastline- hidden beaches to hike down to if you dare, beautiful rocky overlooks, and maybe even a whale or two spotted.

In my culture, we celebrate quinceañeras which is like a coming of age celebration for the girls turning 15. It is a childhood to womanhood celebration.

I don't live in New Hampshire, but I have visited this lake every summer. First time I was only a few months old. Truly beautiful and special place to me.

I like doing something called crow collecting. I collect all little random trinkets and things! Shiny or not I love the little crow goblin things in life.

Many countries including the USA love their furry companions, myself included. I hold my relationship with my dogs very closely, and treat them as family.

Chicago sits on the edge of one of America’s Great Lakes, Lake Michigan. Lots of people spend the hot summer months swimming and hanging out by the water!

Every summer at the end of August, my family and I haul ourselves up to Maine for a few days to enjoy the torturously cold water and delicious fried food.

The largest mountain range in the United States. Some of us never see snow capped mountains in our entire life. And I've never seen these from the ground.

It's my favorite breakfast. Any other style of coffee is too bitter otherwise. And this bread is just so good. I could have it for every meal if possible.

I keep fake flowers in a coke bottle reminding myself that I will love someone special till the last flower dies but they never do because they are fake.

We get together 2-3 times a month and do something fun together. It would be boating or going camping. We have even done skiing and snowmobiling together.
