My first thought was that I was going to write about my theatrical and musical background, however I think among people who are all in the performing arts that may get a little boring. So instead, I would like to write about my love of the outdoors and some of my favorite experiences.
The outdoor experience that stands out among the others is the canoe trip my family took through the Boundary Water lakes in northern Minnesota. We took a 5-day trip, with 3 canoes, and 8 people. We paddled most of the first day, stopping only to eat, or to portage to the next lake. After our first day we picked out a site to pitch our tents for the entire stay. From there we took day trips to others lakes, swam, hiked…etc. At night we would paddle out to the middle of the lake and watch the fish come up for bugs, then paddle back to camp to fall asleep to the sound of loons. It was a great experience and one that I would repeat; no matter how resistant I may have been in the beginning.
I also enjoy skiing, rock climbing, biking, hiking, horseback riding, sailing…the list goes on and on. I love Chicago and have always seen myself as living in a big city, though I do love the country and find it’s solitude very refreshing.
