Fishing, Motorcycles
My two passions, or hobbies would have to be fishing and motorcycles. I enjoy fly fishing because it teaches me patience and requires a lot of attention to detail in order to be successful at the sport. Motorcycles also teach me a lot about patience. They also require to to think outside the box and find solutions on the fly. If you break down on the side of the highway 400kms from home, your brain starts to work in a different way, and I enjoy that challenge.
