I really enjoy my backyard and feeding the squirrels and birds. I often float in my small pool and read adventure stories. I am working on the Merlin the Early Years Series now. One of my favorite book series is The Overlander Series by Suzzanne Collins, the author of the Hunger Games Series. As a teacher, I am a life long learner so taking classes, and reading articles, and studying different pedagogy takes up a great deal of my time. I enjoy visiting my mum in Canada and Kayaking in the different bays, and lakes on Vancouver Island. I like the outdoors but only when the weather is moderate. I also love traveling and seeing new places! I especially have a passion to see places that I have studied about in history.
