Lives in Fairhaven, Massachusetts
I have lived in southeastern Massachusetts my whole life. I have so much love for this area and want to share the beauty of it with other people. In Fairhaven, I love to go to the beaches with family and friends.. Walking distance from my house, my husband and I enjoy eating at The Little Village cafe, and Wah May's. A great coffee shop around the corner from my house is The Nook. My hobbies are gardening, yoga and hosting people at my home.
