What I do when I'm not working

I like to travel, read fiction, watch movies and good TV. I also try to get outdoors to enjoy the beautiful BC scenery as much as possible. I’m a music nerd and can usually be found listening and singing along (badly) to whatever music best suits my mood at the time.
