Swimming, Walking, Biking, Cooking, Traveling

Relatively new to QLD, I am taking advantage of the outdoors with daily swims in our pool and the Coastal beaches that surround us. Walking and biking allows me to clear my head, enabling me to take on the challenges that may present themselves.

Cooking and entertaining, bringing people together over an enjoyable meal. You will find me serving meals from the middle east all the way to my country of birth, Ecuador.

Having seen 24 countries not including their cities, let's say I love traveling.
