I live in a small town in New Hampshire and my yard has a lot of space that allows me to ride my bike there, and go for a walk in the woods down to a river behind my house, and i love to walk over to my friends' house and walk down to our country store, get icecream, and then walk down to our lake. I absolutly love living here and being able to do all that stuff that you might not be able to do in a huge city. I also love to bake but not cook meats since i'm a vegetarian. I also have two cats and a bird.
