Hobbies

  • Love Exploring new cities and travelling on foot. Cycling wherever possible.
    My current job role enables me to get to know different nationalities and learn a little about their home country and culture. What starts as official talk ends with talking about their country, weather, culture and my favorite...local food. Although not a foodholic, I love to try local food wherever I go. You can almost taste the country with their local made food!
