Get To Know Tara
If you had unlimited resources, where would you travel to?
I’d backpack the entire world – I’d love to visit every continent. I’ve been to Ireland twice and have yet to visit my namesake – the Hill of Tara – so I would probably start there.
What is something you dislike, but wish you loved?
Running.
What book, film, tv show or album do you return to again and again?
I’ve watched Criminal Minds in its entirety too many times to count, but Dateline in podcast form is somewhat of a daily listen.
