Background
I enjoy gardening, cooking, hiking, mountain biking, climbing, yoga, running, and traveling. Every chance I get, I head out to the mountains to enjoy the outdoors with my dog. Over the last year I have been trying to learn knitting, the result being a large rectangle that slightly resembles a blanket. I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia where I was often found having adventures down by the creek with my siblings. I love traveling to new places and experiencing new things!
