My name is Karin, and I live in Levittown, Pennsylvania. I am a 45-year-old widow with no children. I am a former state government employee who was trapped in an office cube for 13 years doing boring and monotonous jobs. It was a very dead-end job, and although it took some work, I finally escaped (I call this "The Great Escape"). I am now an independent contractor for a health insurance company doing sales and marketing.

My passion is horseback riding. I enjoy rides in the countryside, or in the arena when horses need a "tune-up".

I also love traveling. I include horseback riding in my travel plans. I will go on an adventurous horse rides while in a foreign country - and write about it! Travel writing is going to be one of my other additional incomes. Now that I am working remotely, I can travel more.

I have a house cat named Freddie. He was once a stray. He was found with a badly injured left leg and was taken to the Trenton Cat Rescue for surgery. The surgery went well and he can run around. Although he has a permanent limp, it does not stop him from being active! In addition, I take care of a small feral cat colony outside my home. I trap, neuter and release the cats to help prevent feral cat overpopulation.

I also have the hobby of fishkeeping. I have two 30-gallon freshwater fish tanks. They keep Freddie entertained! I keep different species of fish in each tank.

I run two Shopify stores. One is baking ingredients and supplies. Baking is another of one my passions. The other, related to my passion of horses, is horse and equestrian designed t-shirts.

I hope for WA to be a success so affiliate/internet marketing can become another successful source of income!
