I am originally from Orange County and graduated from UC Berkeley. Go Bears! I love the outdoors! I love to cook and eat. My husband and I did a bed and breakfast with our sailboat and I was the chef! I want to get into rock climbing and one day play the guitar as well as Carlos santana. I was a study abroad student in Brazil, nanny in Turkey, want to be yogi in India, a "cook" in France.
