I am a freelance travel writer and an interior decorator who also designs and makes custom window treatments. I have always been interested in writing and first wrote poems then songs that I performed while accompanying myself on the piano as a teenager and young adult. I have always been curious about the world and eager to experience anything new. My love of animals and nature has always been a driving force in my life and has seen me work with horses (training and showing), with dogs (breeding, showing and training), with parrots (breeding and training). I still love to ride and am now a recognized judge at hunter and jumper horse shows. As my husband is nearing retirement, we are planning on traveling more often and seeing more of the world together.
