Weight Lifting, Dancing, Escape Rooms, Strategy Gaming, and Traveling.
Not only do I enjoy pushing myself in becoming a physically stronger more healthy human being, I enjoy the challenge of testing and pushing my mind. Whether that be intellectually, artistically, or just for fun! Dancing has been a hobby, turned into a competitive sport, turned into a professional sport, back into a hobby. Expressing ourselves is one of the most vulnerable things we can do to love, learn, and be free. As far as traveling, the 50 states are almost crossed off, 3 continents are done, let's keep going!
