Andrea enjoys embarking on adventures with her family—travelling to new places and exploring the sights, as well as doing some shopping and tasting the local cuisine. When she is not off on one of these adventures, you can find Andrea enjoying the great outdoors on her bike or relaxing on the couch with a good book.
