Traveling, Skiing, Reading
These three hobbies are a high level combination of adventure, physical challenge and intellectual stimulation, they provide me with a well-rounded lifestyle that I can practice with family and friends.
Traveling opens up new worlds and offer a chance to experience different cultures and perspectives.
Skiing, offers physical and exhilarating experience. Even though I learned to ski as an adult, I enjoy the breathtaking mountain landscapes and the sense of freedom. It's a social hobby that I enjoy with my son and family.
Reading, is a mental escape. Allows me to explore ideas, creativity and critical thinking.
