Hobbies
I am a passionate reader and enjoy writing in my spare time. I also love food and cooking and go to the farmers market weekly. I love to read cookbooks and take on projects like making jam and pickles. When I have time, I enjoy getting outside and enjoying all the natural beauty Santa Barbara has to offer. I also enjoy traveling and have been to many countries around the world. Some of the recent highlights have been trips to Colombia and Scotland.
