Barbie had an extreme love of travel and visited such places as Paris, Costa Rica, the Caribbean, Mexico all over the United States; her favorite places of Hawaii, New York, New Orleans and New Mexico were frequented many times.

Barbie's passion was flowers, she had fresh flowers in her home every day, and most of the flower markets in San Diego County knew her by name. She once said "I would give up any other luxury to have fresh flowers". Her passion prompted her to take up floral arranging and it brought her extreme joy to arrange flowers for weddings, church services and other special events. You could always tell which flowers Barbie made because they were as unique as she was. Though difficult to choose, Lizianthis which she said looked like "paper roses" was her favorite flower.
