I have spent most of my life living within two miles of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean on the Jersey shore. While far from the ocean in Ohio, I find plenty of natural beauty in hilly Gambier, especially along the Kokosing Gap Trail. I majored in history at Wake Forest University and currently travel up and down the East Coast for Kenyon in Maine, Boston, Rhode Island, New Jersey and the Carolinas. Likes: coffee, Junior Mints, dashes, pandas, and a nice pair of corduroys (as well as its quirky cousin, the courdaround.)
