Joan enjoys travel even though she works on the road! She goes to the beach often. She enjoys photography, nature, birding, gardening, biking and exercising. She used to fish, backpack, kayak, roller blade and participate in all those outdoor activities until she got so busy!! You can check some of her pictures here!
