I have been described as "eccentric", with an ever-growing list of hobbies. Wine making, rock tumbling, you name it, I have probably done it. My bookshelves are full of fiction and thrillers. I journal daily. I'm an amateur writer wanting to publish someday. Plants and gardening are a passion. I have a dog and two black cats. I work in healthcare, and also in animal conservation on the side. Hiking in US National Parks has become my new obsession. I'm here to get away from technology and connect with people the old-fashioned way! Hopefully, pen and paper!
