Hobbies
In my spare time I enjoy endeavoring on hikes around my area and seeking new places and experiences. I was a keen traveler prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and look forward to resuming this passion in a more settled environment. I am a very family-orientated person, so enjoy travelling to visit family and creating new experiences with them. I have recently developed an interest in gardening and enjoy baking for friends.
