🏔 In my free time, you can find me reading about finance and personal development, in my yard tending to my flower gardens, walking or biking at one of the forest preserves near my home, crafting and watercolor painting, donating my time and resources to local charities and community causes, trying and developing new cooking and baking recipes, entertaining family and friends, traveling the world, or "glamping" all over the USA with my family.
