I love traveling with my family to new places. It allows me to take a break from work and daily routine to spent some time in new surroundings. It makes me happy and contribute to my mental health and emotional well-being. After travelling I feel I return more energized and refreshed to my work and daily life. I love travelling and when I am not travelling I love reading about travelling and searching for new travel spots.

Mixing colours can make us feel calm, and painting scenes like sunsets or nature brings a sense of peace. Also, during these classes, we have fun, people come together, and gain new experiences.

I found a community of likeminded people when I started working in the bush. Everyone comes from different walks of life, and we never would have crossed paths without this shared experience, but the bond runs so deep that they are some of my closest friends in the world despite living so dispersed across several provinces. I love being outdoors, camping, hiking, working with my hands, taking risks, and experiencing nature in its truest form. Even getting rained on with nowhere to hide is fun with friends who share the same sentiment. The memories I've made with them in the past few years are unforgettable, and I have changed entirely and for the better since taking this opportunity.

I love listening to music every single day. I listen to a vast number of genres, and I wouldn't say I have a favourite, but something I especially love to do is analyze lyrics and understand their meanings on a deeper level. They tell their own stories. Music often makes me cry in a wonderful way because of how it connects with my heart. It is poetry, after all, and in my opinion it is one of the most beautiful forms of self expression that exists in the world. There is nothing that makes me feel quite like a good song does. I don't have the talent to create music of my own, but the importance of it is not lost on me.
