Background
Hometown: Raleigh, NC
About Me: I was raised in NC but lived overseas and traveled extensively while there. I have the explorer bug, I am an outdoor and sports enthusiast. I enjoy hiking, kayaking, urban exploring as well as exploring small "off the beaten path" destinations. I enjoy golf, I consider that as part of my exploring indulgences, as I spend much time searching for my lost golf balls. I have a love for photography, particularly black and white shots. I have recently endeavored to teach myself how to play the Ukelele and acoustic guitar, mainly for relaxation.
