Hello! I have traveled fairly extensively through my life (Japan, China, Korea, Turkey, Syria, UAE, Egypt, England, Germany, France, Canada, Mexico, India, Nepal), as I’m curious about other people and places. I’ve loved every where I’ve visited. Cooking & food are among my favorite ways to spend time - if I’m not cooking, I’m reading recipes & trying new things. Spending time with friends & family over a long meal is a true delight! I have a fairly large vegetable & herb garden, I like to eat what I grow and make gifts of food items to friends.
