I was born and raised in the beautiful Potato
state...Idaho!!! I'm a transplant to the beach and I love
that I get to spend most of my days near the
ocean! I
live for traveling the country and the world and
enjoy
anything active and outdoors.
I love spending time with my Idahoan family and
other
good hearted folks.
