True crime and history podcasts, dog walks with greyhound walking group, hiking, hanging with kids.
I have a wide variety of interests and use podcasting to continue my learning, including True Crime, relationships, psycho analysts, history (classical and archaeology), English literature and news.
I have two dogs, an 11 year old English Staffy called Bella and a 3 year old Greyhound, Frankie. I'm also a mother to two kids, Amber 15 and Marcus 12 and spend much of my spare time hanging out with them at the beach, hikes and sporting events.
