Lindsey enjoys music, traveling, swimming, experiencing new cultures, cooking and trying new foods. She enjoys being with people and learning from other’s experiences. However, nothing compares to spending time with her family and friends. For Lindsey, family means the world. She would love to see others have the relationships they desire with their families and friends.
