I travel daily. It is important for me to have a well rounded work-life balance.
I love mental stimulation. Like puzzles, strategy games and problem solving. Once I get into my flow state, I'm unstoppable.
Nature is our mother. To put it bluntly. When I'm not working or tired, I'm outside enjoying what she has to offer. Always.
