Beside the hunt for vintage pieces, I love traveling the world, dark chocolate, and dogs - Treks Treasures is named in memory of my Beagle. My shop is my hobby, while I remain a nine-to-fiver (once retired I can add live shows), and has been curated with a wide mix of items, which I hope you enjoy!
