Fun Facts About Me:

Beyond my love of anything travel related, my life revolves around my husband, our 4yr old daughter and my 6 month old son. Obsessed with fall, and everything that comes with it; cooler weather, football, pumpkin spice lattes, coffee, leaves, sweaters, the holidays. Love the Earth. Hardcore recycler. Avid light turn-er off-er. Fresh talent and enthusiasm. I also enjoy good sarcasm every now and then.

New Zealand or maybe someday a World Cruise!
