Photography. Traveling. My Portuguese heritage. Music, music, music and even better if it's live and makes me dance! Cooking and trying new restaurants...love to cook for and eat with friends. Long motorcycle rides, skydiving, the beach, ice and roller skating, Oilers hockey, sailing, hiking, camping, horseback riding, yoga, wine, sushi and da Bears.
Any stranger willing to share a good story, any friend I've lost touch with and any music lover with a great band suggestion.
