Staying Fit

I am a multitasker, so I need to be self-aware of my state of mindfulness. I like to ensure that I get out for hikes, and swims, along with proper rest.

Moreover, I am aware at all times of the foods I digest and the places I go.

I would love to have an active dog someday.

Interests
