Katrina Verweel: I love to travel and I am always eager to go on my next trip. I enjoy being outdoors and being active in as many ways as possible. Golfing, beach volleyball, cliff jumping, running, tennis, dancing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, and any other fun activities outside with friends is my idea of a great time. However, doing any of the above in another country, well that’s even better! I have been to many popular destinations around the world, such as Paris and Amsterdam for example, but heading off the beaten path is always my ideal vacation. I love to really experience different cultures that are not over packed with other tourists. I currently live in Toronto and I am enjoying the city because there is always something fun going on.
