I would say that I am an introverted extrovert. I very much enjoy being in social settings, but treasure quiet time to myself as well. I like to read and will often spend a quiet Sunday morning poring over cookbooks in search of the next delicious meal I will cook. I love animals of all kinds and have been fostering and adopting senior dogs for over twenty years. Traveling is a luxury I have been lucky to experience. My favorite place I have traveled to has been Japan.
