how the people there live, from food and clothes to cultures and
customs. She likes discovering the "whys" and "hows" of a
place's culture.
Food

Faith/Spirituality

place in the finished work or not. It often features in her personal
writing, but she is not afraid to include it when an assignment
requires it!
