I love to spend time outside. I like rock climbing, canyoneering, backpacking, hiking, kayaking and identifying flora and fauna. I also like to run and just ran my first marathon a few months ago. I enjoy gardening and have turned my yard into a native pollinator garden. I like to take pictures of the bugs that show up in my yard with my macro lens. I’m currently working on making a tortoise enclosure so my husband and I can adopt a desert tortoise. I love to plan trips and have been to thirteen other countries (will be seventeen by the end of the year)!
