In addition to writing, I love anything involving the outdoors. I am an avid snowboarder and hit the slopes any chance I get. I have always wished to ride the peaks of Utah and Colorado. In the summer I enjoy archery, camping, day-hiking, zip-lining, rock climbing, biking and trap shooting. I am very open to trying new things and have always wanted to see different countries and cultures of the world. I have been to Mexico, Canada, Italy, Sicily, Greece and Turkey. If I could visit anywhere in the world right now, New Zealand would be my first choice.
