Hobbies

  • eating
    I cannot believe the hobby didn't exist in the list. I don't eat to live, I live to eat.
  • Camping
    sleeping under the stars, if you haven't tried it, you haven't truly lived.
  • Traveling
    most rewarding collection: memories & places.
  • Scuba diving
    fully suited up, wouldn't like to be touched by a fish, to jelly-ish for me.
  • Rock climbing
    that adrenaline rush!
  • Cooking & Baking
    I'm no Martha Stewart, but I know my way around the kitchen and make some pretty awesome cakes.
  • Reading
    no paulo coelho please.
