About the host
Hosted by Christina Hamill
I love relaxing and being active in nature. I enjoy hanging out with my husband, daughter, relatives, friends, doing yoga, walking, hiking, cycling, camping, paddle boarding, and swimming in rivers, lakes and oceans. I have a fabulous time going out dancing with friends. When I travel, I like to be in discovery mode rather than plan everything. Both nature and travel inspire my photography and poetry writing.
