I enjoy working out, travel, spending time with my 4 sons. taking online courses to learn new things
I live a moderate healthy lifestyle and enjoy all aspects of exercise. Including Yoga, cycling, HIIT workouts, weight training and going for hikes. I started travelling about 10 years ago and its such a privilege to be able to. Learning about different cultures and be able to see the world for its beauty is something that brings me so much joy. Along with spending time with family and my dearest and closest friends.
I also enjoy taking online courses, and always eager to learn new things and to expand on my ideas and knowledge.
