My passion for photography and travel has enriched my life in countless ways, offering me the chance to explore diverse cultures, landscapes, and experiences. I find immense joy in capturing the beauty and essence of every place I visit through my camera lens. This hobby not only allows me to preserve memories but also enables me to share my unique perspective with others. One of the highlights of my travels is indulging in outdoor activities that challenge and invigorate me.

I was born in Washington, D.C., and two years ago, I moved to Gaithersburg, MD, following my divorce. As an American, my diet consists of various cuisines. I enjoy chicken with barbecue sauce baked in the oven for an hour and served with mashed potatoes and a small salad. Recently, I made Rigatoni with bottled spaghetti sauce and shredded cheese on top. Today, I prepared ground pork mixed with a raw egg, bread crumbs, onion, and tomato, which I baked in the oven and served with leftover whipped potatoes.

I also savor frozen crab meat (the real kind, not imitation) paired with spinach and cheese. Occasionally, I treat myself to lo mein with pork from a Chinese restaurant. I have a particular fondness for Bhaigan Bhartha from an Indian restaurant, which I enjoy with roti. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience at a Vietnamese restaurant where egg rolls with a white wrap made me very sick, almost to the point of needing emergency care. I suspect the food was not properly refrigerated.

In the past, I frequented Buffalo Wild Wings for chicken wings, but I didn't care for their sauce. I'm also not a fan of Subway sandwiches because I heard that their bread contains an ingredient used in making yoga mats, and I tend to get diarrhea whenever I eat there.

I lived in Italy during my childhood before moving to the United States with my parents. My travels have taken me to various countries both for work and vacations. For work, I've visited Spain, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kabul Afghanistan and Syria. Vacation trips have included Switzerland, Italy, Yugoslavia, Greece, Bermuda, Paris, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, and Dubai.

People often compliment me on my eyes, smile, skin complexion, and sometimes even my voice. They seem to find these features appealing. Above all, I have a deep love for photography.
