I'm interested in practically everything and love to learn. I've been fortunate to travel a lot, and spent my junior year of college at Loyola University's campus in Rome, Italy, where I visited relatives. I also visited relatives in Poland on a summer trip there after graduation. 

I've had great experiences traveling to Asia, the Middle East, Mexico and many countries in Europe, typically on a shoestring budget, and it's really hard to pick a favorite. The best thing about travel is meeting people, seeing places and viewing the world through someone else's eyes.

I also enjoy theater, biking, museums, hiking, reading, eating out, movies, going to church, fashion, cooking and hanging out with friends.
