Nature, Photography, Paddleboarding, Roadtrips

I'm usually found out in nature either walking my dog Honey or doing outdoor activities. Sometimes just driving somewhere new and exciting to take nice photos, I have a passion for helping others and am very empathetic to others needs, also am all for doing self care and building each other up in this world no matter what walk of life. On quieter days I like to make soap and do some crafting, typically with a nice hot cup of coffee in my hand and a friend on facetime giggling with me, or curl up on the couch with a good movie.
