Did you know...?

I could not live without… chocolate...and the love and support of my family and friends.
My favorite place in the world is… how can you pick just one??!
My dream vacation spot is… anywhere I can relax and enjoy the sun and sea!
When traveling, the thing I miss the most is… my family and my boyfriend.
My favorite meal is… my dad’s chicken curry.
My favorite television show is… Glee
I never leave my house without… (I never travel without… a great book)
My favorite quote is… “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” –Henry Ford
If I were not an athlete, I would be… still involved in sports in some way.
