Hobbies
I absolutely love going out and taking pictures of everything imaginable. I often travel to interesting locations to snap a unique photo. Sometimes my travels are close to home, but other times I journey out of state . I also love to travel. I have traveled to half of the countries in Europe, wrote a few intriguing stories about my experiences over there. I have also traveled through the U.S. One of the most amazing adventures I had was driving across country. We started our journey (my mom & brother) from N.J. and ended in California. That drive took about a week to complete, mostly because we had planned a few cities to stop in and visit. In addition to all of this ( and I think you know where I am going with this ) , I love to write and blog. I will often blog about my personal observations, my travel experiences, and self -reflective information.
