I am an extrovert who loves meeting new people, especially people from other countries. I love learning languages, although right now I am studying only German. My other interests are reading, writing, history, gardening, and being with family. My very favorite thing in life, next to reading, is travel. I have traveled extensively in Western Europe, visiting 14 countries so far. My goal is to visit some of the Scottish Islands as my ancestors are mostly from Scotland and Northern Island. I want to visit Orkney and the Shetlands if I go to that area again.
