Favorite Recipe

My grandma’s homemade flour tortillas. They were always a staple in her house and are involved in most of my favorite family memories.

Favorite Book

“The wild trees” by Richard Preston." It’s an amazing story of the costal redwoods and one of the reasons I decided to move to Humboldt.
