Tell us something about yourself that people may not know 

I love listening and playing the piano, especially pieces made by Chopin. I love animals and I have 4 guinea pigs and 2 dogs! I enjoy reading books, mostly mysteries and other fiction books. I also like to go camping with my family and be close to nature.
