In my time away from the hospital, I love to spend it traveling around the world with my partner. Or staying closer to home exploring new places in North Carolina, reading a good book, or trying out new recipes in the kitchen. My cat, Astro, has traveled with me, and my partner, Andrew, joined us in all the excitement when I lived in NYC.<\/div>\n
