I am generally quiet and shy in real life, but enjoy conversations through both e-mail and snail mail. I love to learn about other people and cultures from around the world. I am a reader and write both fiction and nonfiction. There are no topics that are off-limits for me. I like the outdoors and especially like to camp, kayak, hike, enjoy the scenery, and so on. Music is another passion of mine, and I like to play guitar and bass.
